HHS Orders Potassium Iodide

I get the feeling Fukushima radiation is not going to be decreasing anytime soon.

Commenting on the article, potassium iodide does not "treat" radiation poisoning. It's a thyroid blocker that is most effective when taken PRIOR to exposure. The effectiveness when taken post-exposure is questionable. If you read that taking it within 3-4 hours of exposure is effective, that's an optimistic scenario.

p.s. I lived 5 miles away from a General Atomics Mark I TRIGA nuclear reactor at UC Irvine.
