The idea is to stuff your thyroid with enough iodine to keep it purring, so extra iodine is not absorbed, but excreted, hopefully without damage.netudianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726679291917155189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-17750470165869933702011-03-28T13:21:56.204-04:002011-03-28T13:21:56.204-04:00You say it's like insuring a house against a p...You say it's like insuring a house against a plane falling into it, but what about the radioactive iodine in the rain in Mass? I know they say its minuscule but given the current situation I would say it is worth it because potassium iodide pills are cheap,unlike insuring anything these days and it's less expensive than any other way to buy a bit of peace of mind. This is of course ignoring the fact that the FDA pills seem to be out of stock for every single online vendor-yet google & amazon still list them normally- which actually enhances the perception that the general community is being undersold the risks of this event. If they did have the FDA pills, I would snap some up in a second for peace of mind.PleasantGuitarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723947501859477005noreply@blogger.com
