Lemon juice is suppose to be good for getting rid of the smell of garlic on your handsYou need one of those metal "soap" bars, can't remember the brand name, but after handling garlic you wash your hands with it and the aroma departs. No idea how it works!

Garlic contains molecules with sulfur. ... When you touch stainless steel, the molecules in the steel bind with the sulfur molecules on your hands, thus transferring the molecules (along with the smell) to the metal and off from your hands. Presto! No more garlicky fingers.This is True. No, I don't know how it works.
Eating lots of garlic, fresh or (maybe) garlic supplements is rather good for gentlemen wanting to, errr... keep their pencils full of lead and sharpened!!

Shoving garlic cloves up your nose is snot a good idea.
One of the new year’s most hazardous trends isn’t just odious — it reeks of pseudoscience, experts said.
The harebrained hack has unofficial healers corking up their nostrils with raw garlic cloves for approximately 10 to 15 minutes in attempt to unclog a stuffy snout.
After the user removes the garlic, a flash flood of mucus gushes from their noses, prompting the semblance and sensation of actual decongestion. But what’s really happening is far from therapeutic, Erich Voigt, associate professor in the Department of Otolaryngology at NYU Langone Health, told The Post. ...
“The body wants to immediately expel the garlic and its chemicals, so it’s creating an overflow of mucus to flush out that irritant,” he continued, noting that the new crop of mucus is adding to the collection of clotted phlegm that originally caused the nasal congestion.
“And because the nose is plugged up, the mucus can’t circulate like it would if you were breathing in and out, it’s just accumulating,” he said.
In other words, that deluge of snot TikTokers observed is merely a product of their own doing. “It’s not the mucus that was trapped in there due to the disease or virus, it’s the production of mucus meant to get the garlic out,” Voigt said. ...
Yes, you have to be careful with homemade products that contain garlic in oil, although anything grown in soil can cause botulism.Doesn't botulism grow well on garlic?
No, no it was perfectly fine, just a bit groggy. I'm just glad that I saw it go in the bedroom before I was asleep in there because if I'd woken up and seen it or worse, felt it, I would have had a damn heart attack without doubt.Ah poor thing, it was just being social and welcoming, you didn't have to have it murdered by your heavy. I like spiders, I can't say garlic has much effect on the thousands of spiders in our shed which is storing last year's garlic crop in several strings. We have probably a 400 heads of garlic in there.
It does seem to ward off evil spirits, the neighbour over the back used to lift the fence panel and wander in from time to time and help himself to my tools but the garlic seems to have stopped that. Or maybe the spiders did, come to think of it.

They also say conkers keep spiders away, but I've seen those covered in webs, so I'm not so sure about that theory either.Ah I see, I misunderstood and thought it had been killed. Though I don't imagine the fly spray was particularly good for its long term health!
Having eaten whole cloves of garlic and felt the burning they can produce on the way down, I'm astonished that anyone would do that, between the stink and the sting.The recent TikTok craze for sticking garlic cloves up one's nostrils to clear a stuffy nose is a bogus pseudo-cure, according to medical experts.
