I once went to a place called radium hot springs. Kind of thought it might have been a bad idea but nobody else seemed worried while bathing in it's waters.
So let's take a look, is it safe to bath in radium?

One of the first things I read directly from webelements.com stated:

Inhalation, injection, or body exposure to radium can cause cancer and other body disorders. It is and alkaline earth metal that is white but tarnishes black upon exposure to air, luminesces, decomposes in water,  and emits radioactive radon.

Upon further investigation it seems that only small amounts of radon, which is a decay product of radium, exists in the water. It seems that it is indeed safe.

Mixtures of radium salts and appropriate phosphors were widely used for clock dials and gauges before the risks of radium exposure were understood.

Radium is a naturally occurring element. It is the product of decaying uranium and thorium and is commonly found in all rock, soil and water.
