[quote=Dinh AaronMk]At the same time the game has shown instances where a person may turn into a ghoul with an instant blast of radiation. And even a sane one. But given no attempt at sciencing ghouls has been done (and the game's plot insists on keeping them an enigma for the most part) it's a pretty much a solid roll of the dice combined with the careful balance of the subject's mind on the knife's edge between sanity and feral.[/quote]
Mostly a roll of the dice. Desmond in Point Lookout had a good enough understanding of ghoulology that he was purposefully able to turn himself into a ghoul through the controlled exposure method, just so he could live longer. 

And this was before the bombs fell.
