Garlic and appa
This one is purely for appa. There is an article in the New York Times extolling the virtues of garlic. Appa will, of course, say that it is better to be ill than to be eating garlic. What do you think, appa?
There are some 400+ comments following the article mostly supporting the case for garlic. However comment #358 will be appreciated by appa, I think:
My neice developed a raging case of ringworm in her scalp, which is next to impossible to get rid of becuase the child keeps scratching it. She had little patches of hair missing all over her scalp. But my mother put a remedy of crushed garlic on her scalp and presto, no more ringworm. I would like to add that after many prescriptions failed to get rid of it, it was the garlic that did the job.
There you are: not even the lowly ringworm likes garlic!
are you my long-lost sister by any chance?:) my appa would rather eat grass than touch anything that came within a mile of garlic. by-the-way, came across your blog through your email to asha-india. Good luck with your Pravasi Bharathiya Divas activities.

Now that is something that appa can use to bolster his argument that garlic is not good for health.
