Description
Riley Bunstine and Christopher Lloyd report a burn from a folk cure in a 2025 case study. Garlic is a famed home remedy, and crushed cloves wake a compound with real healing traits at safe doses. Loose home use, though, can burn, as their patient learned.
A 46-year-old man laid crushed raw garlic on his wrist for five hours to ease pain from an old car crash. Off it came to fierce burn and blistering, and the ward found two large blisters of second-degree depth. Folk cures carry drug-strength risks, as the case warns.
