Look, Ma! Two Heads!

I ran into disaster on my recent character in Fallout 2. I was playing a character without the Gifted trait and going solo with a Charisma of only 1. I installed the implant and wore the Mirrored Shades to get both implant enhancements. At level 24, I used Mentats to get Sniper as I hadn't got the Perception implant yet. After conquering the base, I drive around, and then all of a sudden, I get a message saying I died from radiation sickness, and I'm barely radiated. What the hell? Does it have something to do with the Mentats wearing off? How can I avoid this in future playthroughs?
