And only if the stuff coming in has lots of iodine in it. KI does not protect you from radiation, just radioactive iodine, by flooding your body with non-radioiodine.
You’ll still uptake strontium if there is radiostrontium, and cesium, or barium.

True. I have even read on another site you should start six hours before exposure.
This is third hand from another forum. People there are saying they are already taking it every six or twelve hours. Some people are idiots and then there are the ones who really are.
