      Garlic has never been shown to effectively treat any disease. Same is true of cayenne, clove, and onion. Ginger might help with nausea, not with bacteria This is just a really weird smoothie If you're sick GO SEE A DOCTOR DON'T LISTEN TO FOOLS ON THE INTERNETpic.twitter.com/ZtdTyyOnl4

      Also, medical errors are not the "4th leading cause of death" that's a well-known myth https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/are-medical-errors-really-the-third-most-common-cause-of-death-in-the-u-s-2019-edition/ …

      More importantly, things that kill bacteria WAY BETTER than this guy's bad curry (and are completely natural): - Fire - Lightning strikes - Chlorine gas - Avalanches

          Give garlic to a cat and its liver will shut down.

          Give garlic to a cat, and there's a zero percent chance it'll eat it.
