Description
The following query of HCN from the LAMDA database seems to include some extraneous double quotes.
```
>>> collrates,radtransitions,enlevels = Lamda.query(mol='hcn')
>>> enlevels['J'][0]
Out: '" 00 "'
```
This probably happens when the data is written as strings with leading and trailing spaces.
Is this something that should be reported to the LAMDA mantainers?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing Lamda.query(mol='hcn') and inspecting enlevels['J'][0]. Trace how the LAMDA response is parsed to determine whether the quotes come from the source data or astroquery; done means the behavior is confirmed and either corrected in astroquery or clearly documented as an upstream LAMDA issue.
