[Magdalen] Kimchi pickle review.

[Charles Wohlers]

These sorts of fermented foods have been made for over a thousand years - 
food poisoning from them, while possible, is very rare. As noted by others, 
the good bacteria involved create conditions (mainly high acidity) which 
kill the bad bacteria. Many of us here have done canning of jams, tomatoes, 
etc., which is no less "dangerous". As long as one follows directions and 
doesn't consume food which doesn't look or smell right, you'll be fine.

Sibyl>Please, if any of you dies of food poisoning, pre-arrange to have your
heirs and assigns let the rest of us know?  I might want to try this,
but it's starting to sound dangerous.
