@buckhorncliffs: A nuclear event can release radioactive iodine, which the thyroid absorbs—leading to serious health risks. The thyroid needs iodine, but in a nuclear incident, it absorbs radioactive iodine instead. This can cause severe complications, including thyroid cancer. Potassium Iodide (KI) tablets saturate the thyroid with stable iodine, preventing radioactive iodine absorption. KI should only be taken during a confirmed nuclear event, following proper guidelines. Having KI on hand is a simple, proven step for radiation preparedness.
