Doctors reminded that iodine prophylaxis is needed only in case of an accident. Potassium iodide is toxic to the body and does not “work” forward to protect the thyroid gland.
The first rule of safety in any emergency is to remain calm.
The same applies to situations that have not yet happened. Panic and fear is exactly what the enemy seeks. Today, in his speech, President Zelensky did not say anything new, experts of the Ministry of Health wrote on social networks.
Doctors remind that Russia is a terrorist country, from which, like a monkey with a grenade, anything can be expected. The threat was, is and will be until we finally win.
However, you need to be prepared. Always and for everything. Therefore, we share with you the fundamental safety rules for radiation hazards.
So once again: do not panic and do not take rash steps.
