I don’t have an answer, other than it’s some type of chemical reaction. We got consistent results across most of the tasters, so it’s not a one-off result.

I need to review the post again, as I haven’t read it in a while. One person on WMT suggested that the amount of K&C provided in kits is a large dose, so the result may be from an overdose.
