TommyK Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Or at least confide with your physician. With the announcement by some governmental nit wit that today we should see the barest of minimum, barely measurable up tic in radiation as a result of the catastrophe in Japan, there are those of us, primarily along the west coast albeit not exclusively, hoarding potassium iodide pills. DON'T DO IT! There are risks to taking these pills that are not warranted in our part of the world. Stop hoarding them and leave the world supply for those who really need it. I heard on the electric radio that a supply of the stuff which here-to-fore sold for $8 over the counter, is now being scalped for over $200! These are not Tic Tacs, so don't treat them as such. so, STOP IT! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampa Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 We seem to get caught up in panic very easily. Remember Y2K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yep people are fairly ignorant as a rule the same people that are paying 200 for the potassium cyanide probably lay out in the sun to tan and let the TSA irradiate them whenever they fly but fear is a strong motivator. And PC is only good for a short fast exposure not the dribble this will cause here. I wonder how many people of the people that are buying the pills still have N-95 face masks plus Thera-Flu and antibiotics from when they thought bird flu was going to kill them.

rguerra Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 What's wrong with potassium cyanide? I love the stuff. NOT FUNNY. Potassium Iodide is what the anti-radiation pill contains. Some uninformed person might go and find the cyanide and kill themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
