Botulism and room temperature fermentation with salt & no vineg

Hi There,

I make some kosher style dills in Thailand since can't buy them here...I don't use any vinegar, no heat, no canning, simple natural long fermentation.

I use 45 grams of sea salt per liter, they take about 35 days and become full sour. Taste is great and never had a problem.

However lately, I read online that they could be a botulism risk?

- Does the salt prohibit botulism?

- Does the lacto bacillus prevent botulism?

- Is there a risk or is it pretty much non existent?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Bruno
