49.95 geiger counter

[Rick]

Well, I think I'd invest in a $59.95 model. More money has to be better, right?

I just heard on GMA something about people on the west coast "Scrambling to buy" Geiger counters and Iodine pills,,,,

Everything I've read said there's now a shortage of KI pills because everyone is trying to buy them. What are people thinking? They don't even need the stuff. Even if they did, you buy prep supplies before you need it not during the event. Now would be a good time to buy hurricane supplies. Just sayin'..............

Seems so.. Every web site I've checked out has K1 on back order and the price has almost doubled on it. I have 3 bottles ( 90 count) that I've had for 3 years. Was looking to replace them but from what I've been able to find out they are still fine. As long as they are still tightly sealed. I think most people are in a panic kinda like runs on the store before it snows.

I doubt you will need them,, unless you live in japan.

Don, if you really need to buy some try this site. They are the manufacturer and it's $10.00 per package plus $4 shipping.

Thanks Rick. We've got some but thought about a "what if" scenerio here. We live fairly close to a rail yard that transports radioactive material Thanks again for the info. I'll check it out.

[Rick]

I'm in the same boat. I have some but will have to replace it soon. I've been concerned about the reactors in Illinois for some time. Some are at the 40 year mark. They've had a great safety record but it only takes once and I'm downwind.

I've got a few years left on my Iosat before they expire. When they do - I'll order some more.
