Test for iodine deficiency??

Does anybody know if the that test for iodine deficiency really works?

The one where you put some iodine tenture on a soft body part and if it disappears in less than an hour that means you are deficient.

Thanks in advance!

I read about it on the internet. I bought the iodine at the drug store.

Been an hour and stain is still there.

I hope it is accurate because that would be one thing I can rule and move on to trying find out what my problem is.

Im still of the opinion that the iodine skin test is not an accurate way to diagnose iodine deficiency.

Blood would likely be better although probably not 100% accurate either.

Yeah the skin test isn't the best, mostly because a lot of things can effect how fast it soaks in. A lot of people are iodine deficient, though.
