pop culture radioactivity in "fringe"

So on the super non-scientific side-- "Fringe" is a pretty dumb/ super fun TV show about the FBI's "fringe division," who deal with weird/ unexplainable phenomena mostly having to do with crazy chemical weapons and mechanical portals to a parallel universe. I've noticed them throw around "radioactive" as a catch-all scare word a few times but this one episode, "The Cure," centers on it in a pretty ridiculous way. A woman who gets an experimental cure for a disease walks into a diner and within minutes everyone in the room starts spurting blood out their eye sockets and dies-- purportedly because the cure made her radioactive. While I think scientifically debunking pop culture sci-fi stuff is a little silly, I found a few articles about the realities - here's one: http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/4288445

Sadly I couldn't find a clip of the diner scene :( but here's a still of the diner window for dramatic effect
