Re: olive oil and throat burn?

It is perfectly normal. As a matter of fact, you should be happy it does, it means your olive oil is fresh and of high quality, as cheaper olive oils tend to sting/burn less. The sensation is due to a substance found in olive oil which is also found in ibuprofen (pain relievers), which on the long run is very beneficial for your health.
