Aldicarb was detected at four to six times the recommended level in samples of ginger from China, and since the root absorbs it, the pesticide can’t be cleaned off. Exposure to low levels of aldicarb has been linked with liver damage.

The World Health Organization has classified aldicarb as extremely dangerous because it’s a fast-acting poison. Symptoms can be experienced mere minutes after ingestion because it’s rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract.
