Kinda interesting that plants are able to tolerate this much more readily than ourselves. So this leads me to the question....what are normal soil pH levels?

Well, remember you are comparing the pH of blood with the pH of an environment. We can drink (and even swim in) stuff with a much wider pH range. (consider lemon juice) I suppose plants live a little closer to their environment than we do, but it still is external.
But yeah, that is too acidic for just about all plants. I don't think even blueberries like it that acid, do they (5 or 5.5 for them?)?
