Your character is suffering from a significant amount of radiation poisoning. The more radiation, the deadlier the effect.
Causes
Both players and the NPCs they control can get irradiated in three ways:
- by visiting the wrong place, such as the Glow.
- by being hit by some creatures, such as aliens.
- by consuming fruits.
- by some weapons.

Prevention and treatment
- A Geiger Counter, as well as the indicator on the main screen, can be used to monitor your character's current irradiation level.
- Radiation resistance lowers the percentage of background radiation that affects the player. It can be temporarily boosted by using Rad-X.
- A player can permanently elevate his/her radiation resistance by obtaining the Rad Resistance and/or Snakeater support perks.
- Radiation poisoning can be self-treated with the drug RadAway. Alternatively, one may choose to receive treatment from one of the NPC doctors.
