It's just fresh horseradish and you would have to eat a TON of it. It's not just for pregnant woman either. I saw a show once that a woman was goofing around with her husband and they were eating a ton of horseradish to see who could eat the most. She started sweating, spinning, and hallucinating. I guess if you eat too much of it, it's like a toxic poison in your body. But again, you would have to eat heaping amounts so I'm sure you're fine!
