NukePills.com?
I heard about a site on the Charlotte, NC, news station this morning that is a sign of the new times that we live in. It's called Nuke Pills.com. This is where you go when you need to stock up on "FDA Approved and Foil-Sealed IOSAT Potassium Iodide". It blocks the thyroid's absorption of cancer-causing radioactive iodine released from a nuclear power plant or nuclear bomb. Six million tablets of IOSAT Potassium Iodide were recently purchased by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for limited distribution to states with nuclear plants. I suppose it's no stranger than having drills in elementary school when we were small. When we learned to hit the floor and cover our heads. But the thought that I might someday need to take these pills still leaves me feeling a little uneasy this morning.
