Talking of risks, I was going to leave a belated message on your post re your bubbling tomatoes but thought you might not see it so I'm commenting here. Whenever I process tomatoes I always add some citric acid to the bottom of the jar - about a 1/2 teaspoon. Apparently tomatoes are on the cusp of being acidic enough to be able to be bottled safely, particularly if you add other ingredients such as onions, garlic etc. as the additions lower the acidic level even more. Here is some info: https://foodsafety.wisc.edu/assets/preservation/UWEX_addacidtomatoes.pdf You're welcome! :)Ninaschenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163770016423292034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-82177139513764680832017-09-08T12:32:14.854+01:002017-09-08T12:32:14.854+01:00I'd heard it was fish oil; it's good stuff...I'd heard it was fish oil; it's good stuff.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-47626222374064073952017-09-08T12:16:37.467+01:002017-09-08T12:16:37.467+01:00I have been told that WD40 is carcinogenic.
