Tommy Two-tone asked:
We hear all these reports of the Japanese government and bunch of American idiots popping KI pills already. It got me thinking…how exactly does a salt protect the body against alpha and beta particles ? It makes no sense to me…and I know stuff. But apparently not enough stuff.

 

Please explain.

gcnintendo2004 asked:


I know someone who is from Poland, and they were given a shot by the government in the 1980′s. That person does not know what the shot was for; they think it may be antiradiation. Does anybody have some insight on this?
Also, do you have a source?
