Probably nothing, because the amounts of iodine needed to be ingested is so high that it is difficult to do. Iodine is important in our bodies for good health and especially for the health of our thyroid glands.

I took a little too much lugol's iodine supplement, and experienced some tightness in the upper chest, headache that lasts day after day and slight breathing problems simmilar to being low in oxygen. I took 10 drops of 2 percent per day. Do not take more than 3 drops and quit when you have the beginings of these signs.
