IOSAT Potassium Iodide

Potassium Iodide can’t protect the body from radioactive elements other than radioactive iodine. If radioactive iodine is not present, taking potassium iodide is not protective, Potassium iodide is not recommended for use as a precautionary medication

Although usually benign, potassium iodide can be harmful to people with allergies to iodine or shellfish, those with certain skin disorders or those with thyroid problems, health officials say.

Radioactive iodine is most likely to cause cancer in babies or young children, { as in Russia after Chernoble } and people over 40 do not need potassium iodide at all unless they are exposed to extremely high levels of radioactive iodine…The American Thyroid Association.

U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin told a reporter Tuesday during a visit to the San Francisco Bay area that she sees nothing wrong with people stocking up on potassium iodide pills. “We need to be as prepared as we can be,” she said “If we don’t need them, that’s OK.”
