Runny nose, high body temp from kelp (dried chips and supplements)?

[Ippodrom47]

Hi everyone! My endo told me to supplement with iodine as many people in my country are deficient and I definitely eat less than the recommended 150 mcg a day. Yesterday I tried several dry kelp chips and I was feeling not soo good. In particular, they gave me a runny nose that could not stop...well, running :) Mucus was constantly dripping from the tip. Also, my body temp felt increased as if I was coming down with the flu. Tried kelp tablets after that (2 different brands) - yesterday evening and today in the morning with food and seem to have the same issue. I'm literally dripping from the nose as I'm writing this. It was terrible at night, then got better before the supplement and worse again after taking one pill.
Does that mean that iodine causes irritation in my body? Thanks!

Sounds like an allergic reaction to something (not iodine) in the kelp. I would suggest purchasing a bottle of Lugol's iodine.
