wow, Just part of the information from the link in the previous post. This is very interesting and it makes one wonder if the thyroid 'epidemic' is something caused by our enviroment rather than mearly biological.

Prophylactic Use of Potassium Iodide (KI) in Radiological Emergencies*: Information for Physicians

http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/ki/ki_md.htm
The risks of stable iodine administration include sialadenitis (inflamation of the salivary gland), gastrointestinal disturbances, allergic reactions and minor rashes. In addition, persons with known iodine sensitivity should avoid KI, as should individuals with dermatitis herpetiformis and hypocomplementemic vasculitis, extremely rare conditions associated with an increased risk of iodine hypersensitivity.
Thyroidal side effects of stable iodine include iodineinduced thyrotoxicosis. This is more common in older people and in iodine deficient areas, and usually requires repeated doses of stable iodine. Iodide goiter and hypothyroidism are potential side effects more common in iodine sufficient areas, but they require chronic high doses of stable iodine. Therefore, individuals with multinodular goiter, Graves' disease, and autoimmune thyroiditis (most likely to be adults) should be treated with caution, especially if dosing extends beyond a few days.
