Garlic: Gold for only a few

"Oh my god, your breath stinks," my girlfriend said to me as she turned her head away from my advances for an after-dinner kiss.

I had just finished eating a few cloves of garlic because supposedly, according to many of my Chinese friends, it helps fight off A/H1N1.

I put my hand to my mouth just to check and sure enough it reeked of garlic. But my breath is not the only thing garlic is fouling up.
