The OP received about 5 rems - equivalent to eating about 500 bananas (a BED of 500) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose


Why are you being upvoted?

From your link: "The equivalent dose for 365 bananas (one per day for a year) is 3.6 millirems (36 μSv)."

500 bananas is 5 millirems. Try 500k.


My guess is that my recollection, connection, and linking to the concept of the BED is being upvoted more than my math abilities.
