Break from Selenium?

I'm sure I have read somewhere that you should not keep taking Selenium, but should take a break occasionally. Does anyone here know if this is correct?

If so, when should you take the break. I am taking 100mcg a day and have taken it for about 3 months so far.

Thanks for any assistance.

Lots of people take Selenium long term, I was advised to take it for 6 months only at 200ug per day for Thyroid Eye Disease by my TED Clinic which is a joint run Ophthalmology and Endo clinic.
