Sorry. That's not true. The vinegar or lemon juice won't mix with the
oil. Spores don't reproduce. Don't guess about this stuff.

It's a very bad idea to put any fresh foods of any kind into oils unless
you fully understand the conditions that render it safe.

If you don't know what you're doing, it only takes once to change your
life forever. You could kill someone, or perhaps worse, maim them for
life. Or yourself.
