Can someone give me an explanation? My customer in Big Spring, TX, was spraying his live oak trees with Maestro-Gro Garlic Pepper Tea (which has seaweed as an ingredient) and had no problems as far as skin contact with non-diluted concentrate. Then he decided to add some more seaweed concentrate (Nature's Guide Liquid Seaweed) to the pepper tea. He was mixing it 50-50 into a hose-end sprayer. He then got a reaction that was "like a volcano eruption", and the mixture "boiling" out gave him a heavy burning sensation. I have never had anything like this happen to me, and I had no explanation for him. I know the burning is from the pepper, but does the extra seaweed intensify the effect?

Thanks,
DH, Waxahachie

The only thing that comes to mind is that one product is acid & the other is alkaline. That might produce a reaction like putting soda water on battery acid or mixing soda & vinegar.
