I know the answer......but I'm not going to give it. This line of questioning smacks of activities I'd rather not involve myself.. . If you have a bonafide need for potassium iodide then purchasing it through legitimate channels is the easiest way.

as far as I know the iodine in salt is potassium iodate.. perhaps you should stop messing around in the direction you seem headed.

Just buy the drug because who knows what you'll make. It is unpurified and not sterile. You can end up getting sick. . I've compounded my own medications in lab, and we've been told to never use them.. People with thyroid problems should go to their doctors and not try to make their own iodine.
