He wrote this back: "Exactly. I have over 50lbs of potassium iodide on hand at all times. I will be upping that to 100lbs. What concerns me is spring, the melting of the snow in the east. That is where most of the nuclear reactors are. The water supplies are the issue and the government knows that, that is why they are securing iodine and potassium iodide. Our sales of liters have went up 1000%. We usually make 10 gallons of product weekly, I have to double that." Is this guy just desperate for a sale? Formerly faint |

I seriously doubt he's desperate for a sale, probably really is getting more orders than he can handle after all the recent news. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3788546 Really just a stopgap measure to theoretically protect the thyroid, and to look like they're at least trying to do something, after the fact. When it's too late. It protects against I-131 in the thyroid. I should know. I was in Germany when Chernobyl popped, And I have a dead thyroid to show for it! |

H. Bemis User ID: 33659422 United States 01/02/2014 08:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Jesus, enough with the fucking disinfo. Taking Iodine pills only protects you from Iodine-131, a fission byproduct with a half life of 8 days. In two months, the I-131 from Fukushima would be at 0.4% of it's original radioactivity level. Half lives work exponentially, so at this point I would need to use scientific notation to represent how un-radioactive any Iodine from there would be today. Once fission stops (which it did), no further I-131 is created. Even if there was, by the time it made it to the west coast there would not be much radioactivity left. |

H. Bemis User ID: 33659422 United States 01/02/2014 08:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Making people panic and take Iodine could cause real damage. From Wikipedia: The ingestion of prophylaxis iodide & iodate is not without its dangers, There is reason for caution about taking potassium iodide or iodine supplements, as their unnecessary use can cause conditions such as the Jod-Basedow phenomena, and the Wolff-Chaikoff effect, trigger and/or worsen hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism respectively, and ultimately cause temporary or even permanent thyroid conditions. It can also cause sialadenitis (an inflammation of the salivary gland), gastrointestinal disturbances, allergic reactions and rashes. Potassium iodide is also not recommended for those who have had an allergic reaction to iodine, and people with dermatitis herpetiformis and hypocomplementemic vasculitis, conditions that are linked to a risk of iodine sensitivity.[21] There are plenty of dangers from Fukushima but taking Iodine won't protect you from any of them and could cause harm. |
