Wasnt expired, but it made floaties in my coffee so decided to take a small sip from the carton and swallowed a tiny amount and immediately spit out the rest from a extremely bitter taste, followed by a very weird numbing
sensation in my throat that caused a panic. I immediately took activated charcoal but it took 15 minutes to kick in. This was alarming, never felt that sensation before. I knew it was serious, but luckily I keep charcoal on hand. I believe this was not caused by a pathogen but rather tainted by a chemical. Like to have it analyzed, as I still have the carton.
