Hopefully, they won't have a problem with people allergic to the iodine in shell fish. Ever get shrimp shell/covering stuck in your throat if you don't peel it right? It's worse than the shell of a popcorn kernell!

Hope they put a warning on it, for external use only.

This has nothing to do with iodine. They have modified a glycopeptide that is one of a very large number of components found in shrimp shells for this purpose, but the other components of the shrimp shells are not used.
