Working with garlic? Wash your hands!
If left on your skin long enough, skinned garlic can cause second to third-degree burns requiring skin grafting.
The chemicals in garlic that give it it's powerful anti-viral & anti-bacterial properties are the same that can cause a severe allergic reaction called contact dermatitis, when applied directly to the skin.
Don't worry, these chemicals won't harm you by eating them, just choppy chop and then washy wash!
