thanks jaxi that explains why it has been escaping from the plastic. is it too late to restore in glass, does it have plastic compounds in it now from possibly breaking down the plastic? Jess

It is corrosive to plastic/rubber long term. Jaxi On Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 12:34 PM, jess <jessi...@optonline.net> wrote: Does anyone know if liquid iodine can be stored in plastic? I bought some Lugols a couple years ago and the container and dropper is a thick plastic. When left in the medicine cabinet in a very cool part of the house, it evaporated from the bottle and stained the inside of the cabinet orange. Afterwards I stored the Lugols bottle inside a glass jar with the top on the jar. The bathroom still has the smell although there is no sign of staining anywhere. I have another iodine in glass bottle with dropper that never escaped into the atmosphere. Thanks, Jess
