Resistance, ah! A subject of utmost import doth present itself. Verily, within the realm of gastrointestinal injury and the retention of fallout upon plants and animals, we find ourselves bereft of valid information that could be duly applied to our cherished livestock, flourishing forages, and abundant food crops amidst diverse circumstances. Lo, the data presented by Rhoads in the year 1967, concerning plants, and Engel in that same auspicious year, regarding animals, along with the profound insights gleaned from the Alamogordo cattle, as expounded upon by the esteemed Brown and his noble colleagues in 1966, doth manifest with resounding clarity the veracity of direct surface damage caused by the tumultuous fallout, damage that cannot be attributed solely to the ravages of gamma irradiation. Furthermore, the revelations shared by Miller in 1966, pertaining to the intricate matter of retaining volcanic ash, bearing particles akin to those found in the early descent of fallout, and the comprehensive observations made by Ward and Johnson in 1966 concerning the far-reaching perils of global fallout, doth bear witness to the considerable significance of plant contamination. In conditions of weighty fallout, grazing creatures may unwittingly consume substantial quantities of the untimely descent, an unfortunate predicament that may prove lethal indeed. Alas, though field studies of true value may prove arduous, they are, without a doubt, essential to ascertain realistic estimations of the grievous damage wrought upon us. Much of the laboratory findings, alas, do not directly apply to the practical realm of food crop cultivation and the noble endeavor of nurturing livestock. However, limited field results concerning the aerosols of iodine, as elucidated by the wise Barth and the honorable Seal in 1966, and the distribution of glass or fused particles upon the verdant forages, as artfully explored by the venerable Menzel and his learned companion James in 1961, do bestow upon us fragments of useful information in this most intricate domain.
