For those of you who don’t know what these tablets are… They’re basically ‘nuke pills’. They help prevent radioactive iodine from getting into the thyroid gland during a nuclear radiation emergency.
But every little bit helps, right?
With all the uncertainty in the world, and considering the asshole democrats who hate America, now might be a good time to check your preps.
I found these articles over at Modern Survival Blog.
Potassium iodide is very closely related to table salt (that is, an alkali metal and a halogen). Does it expire? No. It's a rock. KI will be KI for the next umpty-gazillion years, minus the 0.012% of radioactive potassium half of which will decay in about a billion years. Iodine has no natural radioisotopes. So you're good; the potassium iodide won't go anywhere. The starch (etc) in the table may mold, but the KI isn't going to be affected.
