Re: Electric blankets?

[Guest guest]

Hard or impossible to find LOCALLY, yes. Many have found this.And, if you CAN

find it, locally, you would probably have to have a pharmacy order it special

for you, would pay a horrendous mark-up, and would only get something like 1/4

oz.Something to do with it being used to make chrystal meth.

Anyway, you can order off the I-net. I bought mine from someone selling it on

E-bay.Cheap, and can buy decent amounts.And no, I didn't have the Feds come

knocking at my door.BTW, most use a rubber eye dropper to dispence; Keep it in a

seperate bottle, cause Iodine is an oxidiser, and it will rot the rubber fairly

quickly.

Would be interested to see what you get, from 'charting' your and your wifes

average temperatures, per DRRIND.COM website.Doesn't cost anything, if you have

a thermometer.Jim
