If you can't get hold of any POTASSIUM IODIDE pills, get yourself a small bottle of plain old iodine but, DO NOT TAKE LIQUID IODINE internally as it is POISON - just smear on a large circle of liquid iodine on your abdomen or inside your upper arm - refreshing it as it absorbs into the skin for several days in the event of a nuclear explosion.

Let's hope and pray this doesn't happen, but doing and learning a few simple things ahead of time makes for less panic if something should happen.
