Yeah people jump to conclusions. My cousin watched so much CNN this weekend he took it and he lives on the east coast of USA! His tongue is still tinted dark red.
His tongue is red because your cousin took Tincture of Iodine instead of Potassium Iodide. I wish him well...
I keep a stash of Iosat, but I certainly wouldn't take any of them at this point. I am about 60 miles downwind from a nuke facility, but honestly, I am more concerned about a terrorist attack than the power plant...and I sure as heck am not concerned about the Japanese nuke problems. Now if the thing blows up and starts burning and throwing ash into the air, I would be concerned. But that won't happen...because their reactor wasn't designed by Soviets.
