Frank, one evening I got inyo raw garlic with a buddy of mine. We ate about 25 cloves each. He insisted we eat 'em with feta cheese which cuts the 'sting' a bit. Twoo hours after falling asleep I was paged out on a MVC call. I swished some tooth paste in my mouth all the way to the hall--about 4-5 minutes. I was in the back of the rescue truck and someone said, "What the hell's that smell?" Honest, we got to withing two kilometers of the scene when we were turned back. Total round trip was 145 or so kms. The guys were tempted to don their SCBA.

BUT, yes, I too love raw garlic. Y'ain't alone out there.
