Potentially over soaked chickpeas?

If making raw hummus or falafel I soak mine for 2-4 days, there not poisonous nor are they dangerous, it is just the protein rising to the top, rinse and use, I have soaked them for a week in the frig, normally I let them soak on the counter in a bowl, but my cat has drank the water on occasion and I just do not want furry chickpeas.

You won't die. If you want nice humous I'd throw them as they have started to ferment.

Pro-tip for fast soaking;

(a) 10 minutes at full pressure in a pressure cooker with 3 times the amount of water, leave to naturally release the pressure - or

(b) bring to the boil in a pan for 2 minutes, remove from heat and leave for 1 hour.

Rinse them, they will be fine. I would likely cook them(mainly for the monster fart potential from the raw). Obviously you were soaking them out of direct sunlight? If they were in sunlight might be a small issue, but not life threatening either way. As other people have mentioned, increased gas potential.

Four days soaking is too much to consume them. Better throw them away as they started bubbling means emitting some gas which may be dangerous to consume.

smell it. If if smells a little yeasty but not rotten, it's probably just some healthy bacteria - that's how rejuvelac and seed cheeses are made. Use the water to water your plants, as it's loaded with nutrients that are excellent for your plants.

i imagine you're meant to eat all beans cooked, till you sprout them. Sprouting beans is honestly really problem-free. All you want is a pitcher jar with a exhibit lid, the beans, and water. seem on Youtube for more effective guidelines. I surely do not imagine you receives unwell although.

Fermentation has set in and lots of washing may not fix it although a quick lacto-fermentation is sometimes used,

No death, possibly amazing gas.
