falcarinol (carotatoxin) is a natural pesticide and fatty alcohol found in carrots (daucus carota), red ginseng (panax ginseng) and ivy. in carrots, it occurs in a concentration of approximately 2 mg/kg.[1][2] as a toxin, it protects roots from fungal diseases, such as liquorice rot that causes black spots on the roots during storage.

it was shown that falcarinol acts as a covalent cannabinoid receptor type 1 inverse agonist and blocks the effect of anandamide in keratinocytes, leading to pro-allergic effects in human skin.[5]
preliminary research in animal models suggest that falcarinol may have a protective effect against certain types of cancer. laboratory rats fed a diet containing raw carrots or isolated falcarinol were a third less likely to develop full-scale tumors induced by azoxymethane than those in a control group.[6]
normal consumption of carrots doesn't cause any toxic effect in humans. however, when falcarinol is delivered in high doses to laboratory animals, it causes neurotoxical problems.[7]
