This Review Title is Strange smell, white substance (mold?) and the content is: I ordered 5 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 product.<br /><br />As 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 nickel.<br /><br />Update:<br />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.
