Keep This Inexpensive Item On Hand to Up Your Odds of Survival

There's an inexpensive item you should have in your bug out bag that'll drastically up your odds of survival in the event of a nuclear attack.

This item won't protect you from the blast, but it'll help ward off the effects of radiation.

That item is Potassium Iodide. You can get enough to treat one person for 10 days for less than a dollar a day.

After a nuclear attack, radiation is the preeminent danger.

Radioactive iodine will build up in the thyroid gland, where it can cause all sort of problems—issues that might not show up until years later. Taking Potassium Iodide prevents radioactive iodine from building up.

Potassium Iodide has to be taken prior to being irradiated. It fills your thyroids with potassium iodide and leaves little room for radioactive iodine. All it takes is a single dose a day. Taking more has negligible effects and ups the chances you'll experience harmful side effects from the potassium iodide.

Don't take it for more than 10 days in a row. This should give you plenty of time to bug out to a location free of radiation.

Buy it now because it'll be tough to find after an attack. Keep it on hand and you'll be more prepared than most people.
