Thanks Peter,
Their are a few sane and gentle people left on this site. So Glad!
It shouldn't matter but Dr. Jenner was Dr. Lugol's partner, they were not MD's
but were both Dr. of Science , and working very hard on a solution that would
sterilize their equipment after testing for a cure for several contagious
ailments.
MY Point is Dr. Jenner was my mothers Grate Grandfather, & we used Lugol's 5 %
Iodine Solution, all my life and still do and I am a few months from 70 yrs
old. My mother never met Dr. Jenner but My mother's Dad knew him & talked a
lot about the German & The Frenchman working night and day together trying to
solve that days health problems. (They most likely did not Paten or Register
the name Lugol's ?)Tel Tofflemire

Hi Folks,
I agree with Tel Tofflemire.
It is my understanding that J. G. A. Lugol, the guy who originally came up with
the formula, made it in a 5% solution, as mentioned below from Wikipedia. That
being so, it makes sense that "Lugol's Solution", as he made it, is only a 5%
solution. If anyone else wants to make an iodine/iodide solution using
different amounts of its constituents that too should have benefits but could
not be rightly called "Lugol's Solution" because he (Lugol) didn't make it that
way...make sense?? Calling it a 2% iodine/iodide solution, for example, would
be fine, in my opinion, FWIW.
Peter
Lugol's iodine, also known as Lugol's solution, first made in 1829, is a
solution of elemental iodine and potassium iodide in water, named after the
French physician J.G.A. Lugol. Lugol's iodine solution is often used as an
antiseptic and disinfectant, for emergency disinfection of drinking water, and
as a reagent for starch detection in routine laboratory and medical tests .
It has been used more rarely to replenish iodine deficiency. [1] However, pure
potassium iodide, containing the relatively benign iodide ion without the more
toxic elemental iodine, is preferred for this purpose.
Formula and manufacture
Lugol's solution consists of 5 g iodine (I2) and 10 g potassium iodide (KI)
mixed with 85 ml distilled water, to make a brown solution with a total iodine
content of 150 mg/mL. Potassium iodide renders the elementary iodine soluble in
water through the formation of the triiodide (I3−) ion. It is not to be
confused with tincture of iodine solutions, which consist of elemental iodine,
and iodide salts dissolved in water and alcohol. Lugol's solution contains no
alcohol.
Other names for Lugol's solution are I2KI (Iodine-Potassium Iodide); Markodine,
Strong solution (Systemic); Aqueous Iodine Solution BCP.
