A fish’s socks may have a medicinal smell that may be caused by a variety of reasons.
One possible reason is that the socks contain Chinese herbal ingredients such as mugwort, so they may have some Chinese medicinal flavor. Mugwort is a traditional Chinese medicine that has antibacterial, antiviral, hemostatic, hepatoprotective, choleretic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and anti-free radical effects. Therefore, a fish's socks may have a certain taste of traditional Chinese medicine.
In addition, if you buy fake and shoddy products online, the taste may be abnormal. It is recommended that you purchase from regular channels to avoid buying fake products.
In addition, it is also possible that the socks have not been cleaned, resulting in a Chinese medicinal smell. It is recommended to wash the socks before wearing them.
In short, if a fish’s socks smell like Chinese medicine, you can check the product ingredients or ask the merchant why.
