I'm going to the drug store to buy them out of iodine. If I survive, probably going to need it.

Pretty sure they’re not at the local store anyway. I bought some last year online

Iodine is readily available at every drug store in liquid form. It's also readily absorbed through the skin. Just ask people who were around before salt was iodized. Parents used to rub it on the soles of their kids feet.

Just searched for potassium iodide (which is what your supposed to take for radiation) at CVS and nope

Yes, orally that's what you take.
