Yeah, I am with you. There is a new thread about scuba diver warnings/coast guard up here in Puget Sound, and they are handing out potassium iodide

What states and why these type of pills? I don't get it.

I went and pinged you to it a few moments ago.

Pubbie, these pills are ones you take if you are going to be exposed to radiation . . . they somehow fill certain receptors in your body, so the radioactive stuff doesn't stick (or at least not as much of it). How's that for a scientific sounding explanation?!
