\"Geiger<\/a>Geiger Counters<\/a>, used to detect ionizing radiation have been flying off the shelves due to the recent nuclear\u00a0threat from North Korea. Just like we saw with the\u00a0potassium iodide<\/a>\u00a0shortage after the nuclear reactor meltdown in Japan back in 2011,\u00a0everyone seems to want to be as prepared as possible for whatever may come.<\/p>\n

Once news hit of the possibility of a\u00a0nuclear attack on the US<\/a>, potassium iodide began flying off the shelves along the west coast. As the situation in North Korea\u00a0continues to escalate there has been a global rush for radiation pills<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Geiger counters were first invented by a brilliant\u00a0German physicist named Hans Geiger.\u00a0 Since radiation is extremely harmful to all living things yet invisible and very hard to detect this was indeed a revolutionary invention of it’s time.\u00a0 When the first Geiger counter was released on the market, it was extremely expensive and bulky making it impractical for the average person.\u00a0 However, as technology continues to improve the devices have become more inexpensive and easier to use, allowing everyday people to own one.<\/p>\n

In true survivalist<\/a> form, you can take matters into your own hands and get your own geiger counter to monitor the radiation in and around your home. These are vital to have in a nuclear fallout crisis because otherwise, you have no way of knowing when sheltering is no longer necessary. It can also help you avoid contaminated food or water, or “hot spots” of radiation once the fallout has passed.<\/p>\n

While there are many different options available for purchasing your own geiger counter, many are simply too bulky and impractical for modern day use. \u00a0I have hand selected my best recommendations for our readers so that you can buy with ease knowing that most of the legwork has already been done for you.<\/p>\n
