Re: Can It Be?

Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic): Large doses of Iodine cause sever vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, thirst, shock, fever, delirium, stupor and death. Prolonged exposure to Iodine compounds may produce iodism and deficiency of thyroid hormone.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Individuals with thyroid, lung or kidney disease may wish to consult a physician before working with iodine compounds.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Seek medical assistance for further treatment, observation and support if necessary.
Eye Contact: Flush with water at least 15 minutes and get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin contact: If exposed to more than five drops, remove contaminated clothing and flush with water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
