    It’s worth noting that a fair number of people are extremely allergic to iodine and that you should only work with this chemical if you are confident that you are not.

  2. Gareth Branwyn says:

    Thanks for that, Patrick. I added a Caution to that effect.

    (I happen to be one of those people who’s allergic to iodine)

    Thanks, Patrick. I learn something new every day. I knew that iodine was toxic and irritating, of course, but I didn’t realize that it was also an allergen.
