Mike:

The following is from the Chronology located at
http://www.sph.umich.edu/group/eih/UMSCHPS/hist.htm

1898 Becquerel receives skin burn from radium given to him by the Curies that
he keeps in his vest pocket. He declares, "I love this radium but I have a
grudge against it!" 

The whole Cronology makes for some interesting and sometimes sobering reading.
