That's interesting because I have had to avoid iodine altogether because of sensitivity, caused by using it to disinfect my drinking water back in the 1980's. It took only about 4 weeks of weekend hiking before i broke out in an nasty, all-over, deep seated rash (lichen planus) which left permanent scars. Since then I've had to avoid iodized salt, seafood, mutivitamin/mineral supplements and any other foods containing iodine (many energy bars have it added). Even small amounts will trigger the rash.

No symptoms from lack of it, either.
