Sunflower Seeds and Iodide Pills

sunflower seeds

iodide pills

I received these freebies in the mail on the same day, always fun to get freebies! There were some packets of sunflower seeds from a Cheerios cereal offer. It is to help the bees thrive. I will definitely try planting them. They are annual flowers and drought tolerant.

Then there were these iodide pills to be taken in the event of a nuclear emergency to ward against thyroid cancer. We had a false alarm in January of this year and I had forgotten we had taken advantage of this government offer of iodide pills.  So they finally arrived.  The pills were offered to those who live within a certain range of the nuclear plant.  We are not that close but close enough I suppose.

    At school, parents can sign an agreement to allow their child(ren) to receive those pills. We are relatively close to the Bruce Nuclear. -Jenn

    That's interesting. I've never heard of governments offering iodide pills nor did I know they were offered in nuclear emergencies.

    Goodness, I'd not been aware that governments offer iodide pills although I had heard of them in relation to a nuclear emergency.

    On a sunnier note, I love sunflowers and it's always good to encourage bees.

    All the best Jan

    Always fun to get freebies in the mail. One of my blog friends Linda, is a bee keeper.
    I had never heard of the pills. Glad you have them, hope you don't have to use them.
