Yes, there is a potential for allergy to iodine. Most people know when they have this allergy, byt you still have to ask because they might not be aware that shellfish allergy = iodine allergy. This is where a good set of SOAP notes is very helpful... it prompts you to ask aboout allergies before you get to doing any treatment.

If someone has an iodine allergy just use treated water to irrigate and get them to medical care if the wound is significant enough.

Thanks for the reminder!
