Anyone get a cold from taking idodine?

Just wondering since I decided to try the 50mg, I got a sore throat within the hour and turned into a cold a few days later. Its been a week and now it is just fatigue and mucusy lungs with pain in the eyes. Gonna try to sweat it out by sauna. Been taking small amounts of iodine... from 6mg to 12mg daily and drops in my nose.

I suppose the only way to know is to wait for symptoms to go and then do the 50mg again and see if I get a cold again. But if it is just a fluke that I got the cold when taking the big dose, (for me), of iodine, then perhaps what I thought was a herx reaction was really the cold, and then the 50mg is actually easier to take than the smaller amounts of iodine.
