Bromide sickness 40 years after contamination (video)

40 years ago Michigan residents were exposed to a bromine fire retardant through cattle nutrients. A movie was made about this horror, starring Ron Howard--"Bitter Harvest." Available on Netflix.
The Detroit Free Press is now following up on the bromine disaster. See:

I gather, no one has told them about the bromine-purging properties of iodine. Even the Gulf War soldiers were given saline IVs to purge the bromism after they were exposed to the bromide nerve gas drug.
What should we do? Is it too late? Is anybody in Michigan?
