Q: Does taking iodine limit radiation damage?

I read somewhere years ago, that if people injested very small amounts of iodine (poison), not so much radiation would go into their skin somehow because the thyroid could only accept so much iodine or whatever. What relationship does iodine have to radiation and is this true or false?

Don't know, Tracy, this would be a question for your radiation oncologist. Good luck - PJH
