If you would like the recipe, just let me know.

Swanny: I am very aware of the permeation of garlic through the skin, etc. and you are correct. Thank you. However, I was referring "specifically" to the bad breath issue, not body odor.
It goes everywhere, even into your lungs so it doesn't matter if you drink a bucket of mouth wash and eat a packet of mints, you will still have horrible breath, trust me I would know if you had eaten it from 6 foot away.

The only cure for not smelling it on someone else is to eat it yourself, but I think it is a very anti-social thing to do so I avoid it whenever possible.
