Actually, I have a bottle of Lugol's that I'll be putting up for auction.

Good luck and happy bidding at FRAG!

Correction:

The last two bottles of Lugol's Solution were donated at the last DMS meeting. I just checked my stock and it's not there. However, you should check with some of the the LFS or get a prescription from your local vet to buy some potassium iodide. Then, go to an apothecary shop and/or chemical supply shop that can compound the solution for you with buffers and the like, so you don't end up injuring yourself or your inhabitants.
