Couldn't work out how to add this to my last post but here's an example of what I meant by radioactive "wellness" products - in this case a set of stickers that claim to extend mobile battery life while protecting from 5g radiation. They're now my lowest activity sample but... I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to be holding these let alone putting them up to my face. That dust doesn't look well set within the sticker and it's clearly shedding some activity. One thing to note is my geiger counter cannot detect alpha particles, so this only gives an indication that the item contains some level of radioactivity but cannot give the full picture of level, nor what it is (sadly I do not own a gamma spectrometer).
