I’ve cut my finger while chopping garlic a couple of times, once pretty seriously.
Each time, I’ve been intrigued by how fast the cut seems to heal and disappear completely.
Garlic has been shown to kill microbes, so that makes sense.
Time to practice up on a revised chiffonade technique, I think.
BUT, but mobsters used to coat their bullets in garlic in the belief it would give a shooting victim survivors blood poisoning!
