She was just speaking engrish is all :) I think Ericka meant, 4 sets of arms, and 6 hands.

And does your in-depth knowledge of the genetic diversity (or lack thereof) of farm country come from personal experience?

How does that work? I've not seen many arms endowed with multiple hands, but I guess they are really inbred in farming county so anything is possible. 4 arms and 6 hands? How does that work?

If the crystals are a relatively innocuous alpha emitter (weak) there's no significant health risk if there's a shield of any kind at all between the operator's skin and the material. Frankly, his chances of getting any kind of cancer from a low level exposure like that are a helluva lot kinder than losing a hand or worse in a punch press (very messy and nasty).
