Does a shellfish allergy put one at risk for using this product? I have used the tablets with the citrus without incident but I don't want to run the risk of choking out in the bush.
I use Nonionized contrast Injections and also drinks doing CT studies here at the hospital, it's a little different than just drinking Iodine. Some people can and do have reactions to even the Noniodized contrast we use. So if anyone has an allergy to Iodine etc you better be darn sure you can drink this kind of stuff. The stuff we use has a very very low reaction rate, I have seen one person have a reaction in the past 3 years but let me tell you my friends it scared the hell out of me. The guy sets straight up in the middle of the CT Scan and started grabbing his chest with this OMG look on his face then he starts projectile vomiting all over the place.. the ER Doc gave him Benadryl and it fixed him but it was very unsettling for me. "And they call that a mild reaction" Here is a link that may help explain the differnces and help explain if you have any concern. http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA400772/Allergic-to-Iodine.html
What about using ascorbic acid to reduce the the iodine to iodide after the iodine does its thing? Would that prevent an allergic reaction? Ascorbic acid is the active ingredient in PA Plus tablets, it removes the iodine taste after treatment.
