Accepted Answer

No: Ginger used in cooking is great for flavoring, and helps get rid of fishiness in seafood. Pickled ginger that comes with sushi is also delicious. Ginger can help fight nausea,too. Avoid sugared ginger (just has too much sugar). One's nose will not change size, no matter what one does with his ginger.
