This depends on many factors: your age, your general health, internal or external irradiation, quantity of plutonium ingested or inhaled, the chemical form of plutonium, the physical form of plutonium, the dose equivalent, etc.
But be sure that plutonium is very toxic and radioactive - it is an important danger without precautions.

How is plutonium poisonous?
Plutonium has a chemical toxicity but the most important is the internal irradiation from inhaled or ingested plutonium compounds; for example only 20 mg plutonium inhaled can kill you.
Can plutonium kill people without them knowing?
Yes, it is possible but practically the probability is low.
Is Pitchblende an ore of plutonium?
No. Pitchblende is an ore of Uranium. It's been a long time since plutonium occured in nature.
How long is plutonium active in radiation?
Plutonium remains radioactive for a long time as the half life is 87.7 years for Pu-239. The half life is how long it takes for half of the radioactivity to dissipate.
What safety cautions should someone take before using plutonium?
Works with plutonium are possible only in very special hot cells; plutonium is manipulated only with remote manipulators.
Will plutonium kill you?
Yes, because plutonium is extremely radioactive and toxic.
How long does it take for 1kg of plutonium to decay to 1g?
The half life is different for each isotope of plutonium; name the isotope for a calculation.
How is plutonium poisonous?
Plutonium has a chemical toxicity but the most important is the internal irradiation from inhaled or ingested plutonium compounds; for example only 20 mg plutonium inhaled can kill you.
Is plutonium a nonrenewable resource?
On long term, the useful isotopes of plutonium are not renewable.
Why is Plutonium used to make long lasting batteries?
Plutonium is not used in batteries.
How long will it take 600 grams of Plutonium to decay on 18.75 grams?
Each isotope has another half life.
How long will it take 27 grams of plutonium-240 to decay to 9 grams?
9987.3844 or 9,990
If i have 60000 zombies how long will 2000 troops take to kill them?
It really depends on how long it will take to kill each one.
What kill flys?
this is a wide topic but i recomend a wide dose of napalm followed to exposure to plutonium......make sure to apply plutonium with glooves as it stains cotton
Can you take plutonium to the moon?
If you wanted to, I guess.
How long does the radiation from plutonium 131 last?
Not plutonium, but iodine-131 !!The half life of 131I is 8,0197 days.
Can plutonium kill people without them knowing?
Yes, it is possible but practically the probability is low.
