Forgive my ignorance on this subject, but I am working at a credit union office inside a nuclear plant right now and thought I should find out about this stuff. We have a credit union office here and I am filling in part-time. I haven't heard any talk about KI in the New Orleans area. Is this a prescription thing, or can I just buy it off the shelf in a regular drug store?

You can order 200 tablets for $21.00 from here.

For adults, the recommended dosage is 2 tablets per day for 14 days, followed by 1 tablet per day for 71 days. A total of 99 tablets per adult. Therefore, one bottle of 200 tablets would be enough for 2 adults.

Potassium iodate saturates your thyroid system, thus blocking the absorption of the bad stuff.

However, if you're Ben Affleck, you can wonder around for hours and hours in an area thick with clouds of radioactive dust and debris, swirling all about you, breathing it all in while walking and running, with no adverse impact. (See "The Sum of All Fears").

Thanks for the info. Guess I need to learn to type faster. Before I could post my question, the info was already on the thread. Sorry, but as I said, I am working in between updates.
