What specifically does the chemical iodine do to your body phisically?

Answer #1

You make it sound like you feel like it’s going to do something NEGATIVE to your body. There is iodine added to tap water. I guess it’s healthy in some way. I do know for a fact that it isn’t bad for you. I use it in my water when I’m backpacking to disenfect it.

Answer #2
