It’s called iodine, the pills are already out there.

But keep those immigrants. They’re such a blessing.

Very common — have been around since the 40s. Mostly applicable to people younger than retirement age. Only blocks thyroid uptake — no other protection or treatment.

I think there might be a wee bit of panic at the point..

Actually it’s called Potassium Iodide, not iodine.

I like nitrogen (tri) iodide. Much more fun.

I too would prefer a nitrogen iodide boom rather than the boom that would require the need for potassium iodide.

So lets get ready to be iradiated and die rather than throwing out our government who let these savages in, throwing out all muslims all! and closing the borders. Stupid fn people
To: dp0622
its as GOOD as they can ever get?The thyroid stores iodine. A nuclear accident would release radioactive iodine. Taking a large dose of iodine would flush out the radioactive iodine before it gave you thyroid cancer. What do you feel would be better than that?
you dont have much hope for science, do you?
I understand it much better than you do so, LOL!

Taking a large dose of iodine would flush out the radioactive iodine before it gave you thyroid cancer.More precisely, fill your iodine storage, so radioactive iodine would not be absorbed.

Silly. That’s an I-131 mitigation from a nuke detonation. Likely dirty bombs will be particles of radioactive cesium, strontium, amerecium, cobalt, tritium from commercial sources.
