How can goitre be prevented?

Goiter is the result of a dietary deficiency, insufficient iodine, and occurs in areas where the foods that people eat do not contain enough iodine because they do not routinely eat seafood and the soils in which their food is grown lacks iodine that can be taken up by the plants. Because seafood normally is a rich source of iodine, those populations with access to fish were historically less likely to experience goiter. Routine consumption of seafood was a very early means of preventing or treating goiter. In more recent decades, the addition of iodine to salt (iodized salt) used on food has prevented goiter in most developed countries.


What is a decolorizer do in gram staining?

It removes the crystal violet (primary stain) from gram negative bacteria. It does not remove Crystal violet as easily from gram positive bacteria, because the highly peptidoglycan walls of gram positive bacteria interact with crystal violet and iodine to form a strong bond (CV-Iodine complex). So, gram positive cells hold on to the stain instead of letting it wash away.

What does potassium iodide do for you in a nuclear accident?

A nuclear event, such as an accident or war, is likely to produce a lot of radioactive iodine. The thyroid gland concentrates iodine, so any iodine that gets into a person's body is likely to end up there. The potassium iodide tablets provide more iodine than the thyroid can use, so the radioactive iodine is not so likely to be retained in the body. So the potassium iodide reduces exposure to radioactivity. It protects only the thyroid, and it only protects that against radioactive iodine, but it is better than nothing.

Why antiseptic hurts if you apply it on a wound?

Iodine can cause a lasting stinging sensation called iodine burn. Burning isespecially likely if the wound is covered with a bandage before the iodine has had time to dry. It is also more likely with iodine solutions that contain7% iodine or more. Iodine solutions this strong should not be used as antiseptics.Some people develop an allergy to iodine when they use it repeatedly. Anyonewho has a rash, a lasting burning sensation, or an unusually warm feeling inthe area where the iodine was applied should contact a physician or pharmacist.
