Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 indeed, that's true. or rather, this is what's true: it's possible that the garlic can " burn " tender skin. that's why you oil their feet up - that buffers against the garlic. in my experience, a child has never remained in contact with the garlic long enough for the oil to dry up and let the garlic actually touch the skin, so i've never actually seen anyone with a " garlic burn " , but i do understand that it's possible. also remember, the garlic must be cut to be beneficial - it's the juice action that you want to be soaking in. alternately, you could tincture or oil-infuse the garlic and use that as a foot rub -katja At 08:35 PM 4/6/2004, you wrote: > >> this works very well for children and garlic - oil up their little feet >and stick slices of garlic into socks, and let them wear it through their >naps. their stomachs can't really take garlic and oregano and stuff like >ours can, but through the feet works great! > >I have heard this can blister if left too long - true or not?
