Random Garlic Fact : When eaten in quantity, garlic may be strongly evident in the diner's sweat and breath the following day. This is because garlic's strong smelling sulfur compounds are metabolized forming allyl methyl sulfide. Allyl methyl sulfide (AMS) cannot be digested and is passed into the blood. It is carried to the lungs and the skin where it is excreted. Since digestion takes several hours, and release of AMS several hours more, the effect of eating garlic may be present for a long time.
The well-known phenomenon of "garlic breath" is alleged to be alleviated by eating fresh parsley. This is, therefore, included in many garlic recipes, e.g. Pistou and Persillade. However, since garlic breath results mainly from digestive processes placing compounds such as AMS in the blood, and AMS is then released through the lungs over the course of many hours, eating parsley is at best a temporary fix. One way of accelerating the release of AMS from the body is the use of a sauna. Because of its strong odor, garlic is sometimes called the "stinking rose".

Moreover, I advise that Carthage must be destroyed.

Oh hell yes.
My great-grandmother's Whooping Cough cure:
1 salad, light on the spinich and greens
a bit of Olive Oil
a WHOLE LOT of Apple Cider Vinegar
TONS of garlic
-It should burn going down your throat
Cured my mom many years ago when they didn't have room for her at
the hospital and sent her home to die essentially (don't you love the
medical profession? in their defense, this was in the 50's)... garlic works
though, always had it in my life.
*love*

Garlic is awesome. Expecially before I go out. I -love- eating a lot of it right before going out. It's a good base for drinking.
I -do- wonder why I'm 24, without a love and still living at home though. Maybe I should put on more makeup. Or loose weight. Or give stripteases on pooltables. Because they wont touch me with a tenfoot pole.
Mm.
