Might be smart, read an article where antioxidants block viruses from doing their deed.
My Daddy once told me that at least one reason that garlic and onions work so well is because they foul your breath and farts so bad than nobody gets near you to pass on a bug.
Wow! Moldova makes the news. I am living in Moldova and everyone here is eating Garlic and Onion to ward off the flu. Only thing..Moldova is a fartless country. No matter how drop down slobbering drunk on Vodka a Moldovan might get he will never fart.. not even in the company of his buddies. It is the ultimate Moldovan no no.
Is it expensive?
Must be the capitol of spontaneous human combustion.
Have they implemented a carbon tax?
or
"Die, Die, Die! I can't..."
Years ago, when I worked on a production line, everybody smoked, it seemed, but me. I was probably the youngest employee on the line and couldn't stand the smell.
My pleadings to no avail, I started eating onion soup-- silent and deadly. I'd fart when the smoke got so thick I couldn't stand it. But I was able to deny it because there was no sound. Eventually, the other employees figured it out and we called a truce: I stopped eating onion soup and they took their smoking elsewhere.
Eww. Leave particulates out of this discussion, lol.
Get used to it.
Remember all those "Green" jobs 0bama promised? Somebody will have to check if you are exceeding your carbon limit.
Well, maybe it was in the form of activated charcoal. I hear it sequesters methane.
I can see it now, a booming industry in bovine suppositories. Manufacturing and marketing wouldn’t be so bad, but I hate it for the poor sods who hire on as field technicians. Green is not a color I’d associate with such an endeavor.
Garlic...That’ll make a crowd move over...
