High salt and high temp for long periods should cut down on that dramatically. I'd guess improper storage. Though fish poop cant be discounted for sure!Some of those guys used sea water. Saved on buying salt and added a robust aroma to the peanuts. Which may explain the food poisoning mentioned above.
Those are one of the nastiest things that humans eat. Mrs. Nalt absolutely loves them but I can't stand them. I think I'd rather eat a salted slug than boiled peanuts.
This may surprise many of you, but I’m fairly particular about boiled peanuts. They’re really good regardless, but they’re best when cooked to a certain point where they maintain their density and texture. The “pop” when they openly tells the whole story. Whenever I get one that’s overcooked and just pours out, I throw it away. But when cooked right, there aren’t many southern foods better, especially in the fall and winter.
Had a distant uncle on my dad’s side that used to grow them and then boil them. My first memories of UF games involve eating them in the stands. Still the best I’ve ever had.
I'm a fan even though I rarely have them... always bought a cup at the HS football games here.This may surprise many of you, but I’m fairly particular about boiled peanuts.

PS My responding to your post shows how f'n dead it is here this afternoon... I'm reduced to talking boiled peanuts!
Perfect analogy.If you want to explain boiled peanuts to a Yankee/Millenial/Yuppie you tell 'em they're just like edamame.
If you want to explain edamame to a Redneck/Hillbilly/Southerner you tell 'em they're just like boiled peanuts.
Not exactly grits and polenta, but close enough.

Six words into the post, and I laughed out loud.This may surprise many of you,
I’m on an annual family vacation to Disney, and midday drinking, so it’s either talk boiled peanuts or I’m gonna start mocking some of the “less than masculine” people in my vicinity.
He sure has a nice coke-holster.Live look at SoFla right now.

Also...is boiled pronounced more like boilt, bolt, boald, or boal?
In Tennessee, that other word is "paynurts".
