We may have made you think twice about how much iodine you're really consuming, but don't go over board. Although iodine is excreted in urine and feces, it is still possible to become toxic. The upper limit for iodine intake is 1,100 ug. Acute iodine poising is rare, but symptoms of it are burning of the mouth, throat, and stomach; fever; nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; a weak pulse; and in severe cases, coma.
