Iodine Allergy - Not Sure

by David
(Charlotte, NC, USA)

As a child I was subject to a brain scan after a car accident. I was injected with iodine so the images would show up better for the doctors to see. I had an allergic reaction to the iodine and needed a blood transfusion to counter-act the reaction...Though, I can still eat shell fish with no issues, and take multi-vitamins with iodine in them with no issues...Though, when swabbed with iodine on the skin, I swell up in the location of the swab, but no physical reactions...So, how allergic am I to Iodine??

Can I take a Potassium Iodine Tablet if needed for Radiation poisoning?? Can you clear this up??

Thanks, David

I don't feel it worth putting your health at risk trying to take a potassium iodine tablet when you know how you react externally to the application of iodine.

There is an alternative.
