Concerned about cosmic radiation and reproduction.
Good day gents,
I know this may seem like a silly topic to some, however my worry comes for a few reasons.
I started flying very young, and over the last 3 years, I have been doing long haul in a Middle East based Major carrier..
We not only fly at very high level (390-410 on a regular), but we also do US trips where we are cruising at higher latitudes of 70N. Though a latitude that high is uncommon, normally around the mid 50s, I tend to try and avoid US trips, and stick to Europe and Asia, or even Middle Eastern flights.
I expect to be doing long haul for another 2 years before I move over to the narrow body again for my command.
I can't help but be worried that this radiation will take a toll on me when I decide to start a family some day.
I'm looking to hear from other's experiences, and to see if anyone can shed any light on any measures that can be taken that will help at all.
Thank you in advance and best regards!
