Suggest tincture of iodine. Liquified, you can paint the top of your feet. It will absorb through the skin, socks will hide the fact you are protected
If there were a nuclear attack, iodine in nature easily becomes an isolated. Chemically identical to harmless iodine; which our thyroid needs. If you absorb the radioactive isotope, the prognosis isn’t good.
So saturation of iodine is ideal. We request very little, the rest we expell. Painting your feet will allow you to absorb what you need. Later any iodine you consume from contaminants water, meat or meals will be ejected.
Just keep the tops of one foot stained with iodine
What do you do about the strontium-90, half life of about 30 years, which will be absorbed into your teeth and bones? The way to survive is to avoid exposure in the first place.
Dose age is an intensity and time related thing. Iodine, being stored in your thyroid is concentration in an area close to your brain.
Just attempting to load up on non-isotope Iodine, so you pass the radioactive version through your digestive system with minimal absorption. Better than absorbing the wicked stuff and cancers and other bad things that go with radiation poisoning. Once you absorb the bad stuff, I don’t know how you would get rid of it. Our bodies are designed to absorb and store trace amounts
Right, but if you're inhaling radioactive iodide from a nuclear incident you're also inhaling strontium 90 which will absorb into your teeth and bones like calcium. Now, your greater risk from it is ingesting it from the water and food. Also, I'd read the warning label on that Ki stuff. They don't recommend it for people over 40, although I now take everything the CDC says with a huge grain of salt.
Learned something new, thank you.
"Sr, has a long biological half-life (approximately 7 years) and radioactive half-life (28.9 years)"
Didn't know there was a difference between biological half-life and radioactive half-life, more digging...
"The time required for a biological system, such as that of a human, to eliminate, by natural processes, half of the amount of a substance (such as a radioactive material) that has entered it."
Which is not to say that Stronium 90 is GOOD or harmless, I just had never considered biological half-life as a possible variable.
Personally, I would rather go in the blast, than suffere the effects; and as to the Second Coming - again, read about it ... would prefer to be room temperature.

Thank you anon. To be clear when you say iodine it’s potassium iodide right?
I think u/Hodar is talking about nascent iodine or something like Lugols.
Yes sir.
Would iodine help with 5g radiation if that's really a thing?
No. Entirely different kind of radiation. Antioxidants and other supplements probably DO help, however.
