You neglected to include any 'following..'.
As an anecdote: I am afflicted at the moment by a rather huge and ugly spot on the side of my neck. After a couple of drinks last night, I decided to go to war on the ****** and remembered some iodine tablets I have in my wash bag for water purification purposes, in case of an emergency. I didn't really think it through properly and crushed up some tablets with a little water in my palm, and then rubbed it all into my zit, with the hope that, in the morning it would all be better. I realized my mistake when I tried to wash the residue of the tablets from my hands and was left with dark orange/brown stains. I went to work today with not only a large and horrendous neck-zit, but one which is conveniently highlighted, so that it is easily visible from a distance.
A triumph of humour over intelligence.

start your essay with an interesting fact or a question. here are some facts for you.
Iodine is a trace mineral produced by the body that is essential for normal growth and development. Seventy to eighty percent of iodine is found in the thyroid gland in the neck. The rest is distributed throughout the body, particularly in the ovaries, muscles, and blood. A deficiency of iodine can lead to hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels); symptoms of this condition include sluggishness, weight gain, and sensitivity to temperature changes. In infants and children, hypothyroidism can impair physical and mental development.
The classic sign of iodine deficiency is an enlarged thyroid gland. Some people with hypothyroidism develop an extremely large thyroid, known as goiter. Today, iodine deficiencies in the United States and other developed countries are rare because table salt is supplemented with iodine and crops in developed countries are generally grown in iodine-rich soil. In developing countries, however, where soil is often low in iodine, more than one billion people are estimated to be at risk for disorders caused by iodine deficiencies.
