Thoughts and Opinions:
When we were discussing lactic acid, I wondered if there was some kind of a lethal dose of it, a set amount that could kill an average human. I also wondered if there were any animals that naturally perform cellular resperation anaerobically.
Above and Beyond
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactic_acid, the highest that it can potentially rise to is 20 mmol/L. Through my understanding, anything greater then that could cause toxic effects, even though lactate doesn't act like a "real" acid. The only kinds of animals/micro-organisms that perform anaerobic are obligate anearobes and facultatave anearobic organisms.
