Yes. If they are concentrated, or strong enough, they can give a burning sensation.

Why is it dangerous to taste acids and bases?
Acids and bases can have extreme pH ranges, making it dangerous to taste them. The pH scale is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is; acids can have a pH of 0-7, while bases range from 7-14. Your mouth is 'neutral', meaning it has a pH of 7. If you put strong acids or bases (pH very low or very high on the scale) in your mouth, where the environment is neutral, the acid or base will harm your mouth. However, some acids such as vinegar and basic foods like watermelon and asparagus are safe to eat, because they are not strong enough to harm your body.
Do bases neutralise acids?
Yes. All bases neutralise acids.
What types of ions are in acids and bases?
Acids have H+ while bases have OH-
Do acids neutrilize bases?
Acids always tend to neutralize by reacting with bases.
What theory of acids and bases do conjugate acids and bases belong to?

Is acids and bases corrosives?
Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases
Do acids and bases in plants?
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
What can acids and bases do alone or together?
bases neutralise the acids
Do acids and bases exist in plants?
Of course they are. They are many acids and bases
Why acids and bases are important to everyday life?
acids and bases are important!
Do bases neutralise acids?
Yes. All bases neutralise acids.
Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?
They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.
How can you tell acids from bases?
Acids have a lower PH and bases have a higher PH.
What ions are used to group acids and bases?
Acids: H+ and Bases: OH-
How do acids respond to bases?
The reaction between bases and acids is a neutralization reaction.
What theory of acids and bases do conjugate acids and bases belong to?
