@allthingsfoodandcooking My homemade fermented chilli sauce is causing my throat to feel sore
Like it feels like having a throat irritated by havinf an infection. It doesn't happen when i eat other, even spicier (carolina reaper) sauces from the store. Is it too acidic?

As fermentation involves microorganisms it's possible you got a species that produces something unexpected.
