Yes it can and there is nothing worse than smelling garlic off a person. If you take garlic pills for good health (garlic is good for you) then take the odorless ones at your local health food store. We all have garlic in our pasta sauces, etc., so buy those melting mouth strips, chew mint gum, or use a spritz in your mouth if you know you are going to be close to others after eating the garlic. YES! When a Garlic cell is broken by chopping, chewing, or crushing, enzymes stored in the cell trigger the breakdown of several compounds containing sulfur (such as Diallyl Sulfide and Allicin) which are responsible for the sharp taste and strong smell of garlic. It's kind of crazy that we love to eat Garlic cloves considering the compounds found in this plant are believed to have evolved as a defense mechanism deterring animals from ingesting the plant. When eaten in large quantities, garlic may be strongly evident in your sweat and breath the following day. This is because garlic's strong smelling sulfur compounds are metabolized forming allyl methyl sulfide. AMS cannot be digested and is passed into the blood. It is carried to the lungs and the skin where it is excreted. Since digestion takes several hours, and release of AMS several hours more, the effect of eating garlic may be present for a long time. Remedies- Garlic breath/smell is allegedly alleviated by eating fresh parsley. The herb is therefore included in many garlic recipes. However, eating parsley provides only a temporary masking. One way of accelerating the release of AMS from the body is the use of a sauna. If none of this works I would avoid contact with members of the human species for 48 hours, In fact I wouldn't want to put my dog or pet parrot through that pain either.
yes, the smell can come out the bottom of your feet
Yes, others have had the same foul odor come from garlic.

Because the smell sticks within your fingernails even for a short period of time...... (: ♥♥♥
Most likely, I had a can of Copenhagen long cut today and there was a faint ammonia smell coming off of it.
Garlic has been around for 158 years 1/4.
Pores on your face do not open and close. they do not have muscles around them. Your pores can appear larger when they are clogged with dead skin cells and dirt. Mixed with the oil that the pores secrete the pore can form acne and blackheads. Keeping your face clean will make your pores appear (not actually shrink) smaller.
Dehydrated garlic is good for you as long as it is garlic powder and not garlic salt. Added sodium in your diet is never a good thing. Dehydrated garlic does not have trans fat.
You may not smell the onion rubbed on your foot if your footwear is tight enough, but onions have the ability to stay for a long time on your hands and breath. You either like onion smell or you don't.
This sounds like normal, perfectly healthy pus. It is fine as long as it says white or clear and has no smell.

Garlic can be used as an insect repellent by cutting it or blending it and applying it on plants. When it is absorbed, garlic extract gives those plants a long-lasting case of 'garlic breath' and insects can not stand it.
It depends on how long the garlic clove has been growing... They aren't all the exact same...
