Do not get me wrong, here, I am certainly not looking for bigger government or more laws limiting freedoms, but — yeah, maybe there really should be a law against being out in public while walking around as a garlic stink bomb.

I literally could have used a face mask attached to oxygen at the grocery store this evening.   This man was probably into cooking up his own home remedies for heart problems — a very distant relative used to do that, and we avoided going over there, the odors were horrific.

The whole problem with using so much garlic is that it gets into your system and absolutely everything smells like old used garlic — this poor man’s entire body smelled so bad that you had to be at least 20 feet away from him to  shop; otherwise I would have just left the cart and run out of the store.

Garlic is good for you, but it is likely he was drinking a garlic soup mixture on a daily basis made of water, maybe some bouillon, and tons of garlic smashed and cooked in the broth.   It might have make life simpler for him if he would just go to the doctor and get what he needed for serious health issues instead.

I was thinking this poor guy would have felt more at home in California where they have garlic festivals and everything, from baby food, to ice cream, to chocolate is made with, you guessed it — garlic!
