POTASSIUM IODIDE (KI)

In the event of a nuclear power accident, radioactive iodine is released; it can cause thyroid cancer and disease, and mental retardation in children of exposed pregnant women. Children and infants, including the unborn, are the most vulnerable. The use of potassium iodide (KI) will help protect against these dangers, by blocking the thyroid with a harmless form of iodine.
KI, a small pill, must be taken before or shortly after exposure (within six hours) to be effective. It does not protect against the other harmful releases - only radioactive iodine. One pill provides protection for twenty-four hours.

KI is FDA approved, is a regular component of over-the-counter cough medicines and ordinary table salt, and has been stockpiled for the public in nations around the world. However, adverse reactions are possible for those who are allergic to iodine. Anyone with an iodine allergy and considering the use of KI should consult with a healthcare provider. You should follow the directions for storage and use included with the product. To protect your family, you should have your own supply at home.   If neither you nor your town has KI now, get it.

Better active today than radioactive tomorrow
