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.
