strange smell white substance mold [SEP] i ordered sticks and they arrived within about a week the first stick i opened had a white substance stuck to it see pictures a second stick i opened did not have the same substance the three other sticks also do not seem to have the substance on them but i have not opened them some of this white stuff feels wet and slimy while on other parts of the stick it is dried up and crusty i could not find any expiration dates nor any information on what the white substance could be on the packaging i have not used any of the sticks out of concern for my safety the smell is quite potent up close the two sticks i opened smelled about the same it is hard to describe because i have never smelled anything like it i would say it smells like what radishes taste like in combination with a strong chemical smell it is not pleasant although some people seem to like it cannot comment on the intended use because i am concerned to try it the fact that this is a product of pakistan has me worried because i do not know what safety regulations exist for the manufacture of this productas a final note i noticed the size of these sticks varies a bit the smallest stick had about as much girth as a pencil but the largest had considerably more girth the base of the stick could cover a nickelupdate it has been a week and the stick that initially came with a strange white substance stuck to it is now covered in a strange black substance i have not touched it since i first opened it it appears the stick has been contaminated with some sort of mold see picture i have disposed of all of the sewak think twice before buying
