I followed these steps, but just so happened to check on my mason jar 3-4 days in and saw tiny carbonation bubbles rapidly rising throughout.

I thought that may just be part of the process but double checked with a Google search on day 7 (when there were no bubbles in the container at all).

Turns out I had just grew a botulism culture and garlic in olive oil specifically is a fairly common way to grow this bio-toxins.

Had I not checked on it 3-4 days in I’d have been none the wiser and would have Darwinned my entire family.

Prompt with care and never trust AI dear people…

    Well I’m 100% covered because I have the worst hayfever in existence.

    Like no kidding, I am allergic to every. single. thing that they had on what they call the “tree panel” and the “grass panel”. I need to be on antihistamines for 75% of the year or I cannot function.

    So I’m allowed to use the slur as I’m from the community. Contact me if you want the “g-word pass” I guess.

      if available, I highly recommend a steroid shot from a clinic or allergist for hay fever. the muscle at the injection site will hard lock for a good 5-10 minutes like a Windows PC rolling back an update, but 10 minutes after that your allergies will go away for the rest of the season like actual fucking magic
