   Compared to the elemental form, potassium iodide has a median lethal dose (LD 50) that is relatively high in several animals: in rabbits, it is 10 g/kg; in rats, 14 g/kg, and in mice, 22 g/kg. [73] The tolerable upper intake level for iodine as established by the Food and Nutrition Board is 1,100 μg/day for adults. The safe upper limit of ...

   Potassium iodide renders the elementary iodine soluble in water through the formation of the triiodide (I − 3) ion. It is not to be confused with tincture of iodine solutions, which consist of elemental iodine, and iodide salts dissolved in water and alcohol. Lugol's solution contains no alcohol.
