However, there are some things that are difficult to explain if we wish to argue that garlic caused this outbreak.
It seems reasonable to assume that one of the ingredients in the mixture was garlic.
Twenty-two of the 32 cases had eaten semi-dried tomatoes and/or fresh garlic.
On the other hand, the presumed antibiotic activity of onion, garlic and leek should not significantly differ among most varieties.
Instead, the plots were sprayed with herbicide prior to garlic planting.
From 30 to 60% of the mulch used for garlic was taken from outside sources.
Most commonly potatoes, sometimes carrots, beetroots, onions, garlic and marrows were cultivated in the allotments, and in the south melons and watermelons.
Farmers grow a range of cash crops, including tobacco, mungbean, garlic, onion, pepper and tomato.
