I've read that when you take fish oil supplements you should bite into them every few days to make sure they haven't spoiled....ick. I tried fish oil supplements and developed a fairly severe rash, so I'm not inclined to try again.

I've read about flax seed, oil.....but is this the same? do I have to bite into them to make sure they're not spoiled? And do the seeds have to be gound? Can we break them down ourselves? or do they have to be ground?

Thanks
