How long does it take garlic odors to be cleansed from the body?

It seems to me that people process garlic differently. Most of the people I know are fine to be around after a day or so, and even then, it’s not so bad. But then, I have met people where even the teeniest bit of garlic in a sauce and they reek for days.

I think it depends on how you ingest the garlic, how much you eat, how much you prespire and what you eat after the garlicfest.

Depends on the person, for sure. I know a person that, if he eats one drop of garlic in a salad dressing, he stinks up the room for days.

When I wanted to get rid of garlic breath in the past, I tried the suggestions on this site.

Years ago, I was making pickles and decided to eat a clove of garlic I had cooked in the pickling spices. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I, and everyone within a block of me, could smell garlic coming from every pore in my body for a solid week. It was a very strange experience. The strongest smell was in the palms of my hands.

You’ll have to drink litres of water and eat plenty of fresh parsley afterwards.
