[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want to find a fallout shelter. There are more fallout shelters in DC than anywhere else in the US. If you aren't able to you want to go into a cave or a mine. FYI you also want to buy potassium iodine pills to protect your thyroid from cancer. Stay there for 14 days. [/quote] Potassium iodide. Science.[/quote] That sounds like a horse paste kinda deal. Same vein. [/quote] Directly from the CDC "KI (potassium iodide) is a salt of stable (not radioactive) iodine that can help block radioactive iodine from being absorbed by the thyroid gland, thus protecting this gland from radiation injury. The thyroid gland is the part of the body that is most sensitive to radioactive iodine. People should take KI (potassium iodide) only on the advice of public health or emergency management officials. There are health risks associated with taking KI." It's definitely not BS but should only be taken in an emergency.[/quote]
