So be sure to keep taking your garlic until you're "out of the weeds" and you shouldn't have any problem.
I will, and thanks for the info and reply. I plan to be eating a lot of garlic for quite a while. it might do my HCV some good too.
That's a cute photo. :) Glad to see the re assuring words. Now off to have garlic for breakfast, or with breakfast. You're right, it really can burn the mouth when you try to eat it like candy. I've been mincing it and adding it to food.
I think I need to give it a few days before the redness around the wound starts to fade away too. Friday was the day I increased garlic to at least 6 cloves. The 3 or 4 cloves I'd been taking probably helped but probably wasnt enough to make it act like an antibiotic.
