    The rotten ginger produces a very toxic safrole. People eat this toxin, even in small amounts, can cause liver cell poisoning and degeneration. According to a large number of experiments, safrole can induce hepatocellular carcinoma. Although people only use it as a condiment when eating it, and the dosage is small, but its toxicity is very harmful to liver cells, especially those with a history of hepatitis, liver cells will be destroyed on a larger scale. Many people will yellow their skin and eye sclera due to eating rotten ginger. This is a typical symptom of liver cell damage.
