A member asked:
Is extra doze of radioactive i31 is injurious to health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the dose: There is no upper limit to the amount of radioactive iodine a person can receive in their lifetime. However, the greater the dose is above 500 mci in one's lifetime, the greater the risk of subsequent cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma and others.
