I noticed with the Japanese Nuclear situation that people are getting iodine. My question is simple: What can a person get that if a dirty bomb went off where radiation might hit your area or if a nuclear plant near you had something happen, what can you do to help your situation out? Is it iodine? What else?
Thanks. |

MOPP gear and a good mask.
potassium iodine only protects your thyroid. |
