I eat garlic virtually every day but my fear right now is: since garlic is such a strong root, it could turn that it has an overdose and perhaps, a bad effect eaten too much.

I usually took chopped ones at night some years back and it worked greatly for my health. The problem I had with people then was their complaints about ''something smelling like dead rat'' each time I opened my mouth to talk. Maybe it was as a result of not brushing my teeth after taking it then.

Abeg are there any other methods one can use in taking garlic? I hate its smell when it is taken raw

After eating garlic you'll instantly get confused from ur brain cells to ur stomach. But in a while you start getting the message.

I always rejected any food mum cooked with garlic in it, sometimes she even tried using force but for where, I just can't stand the smell.
