Summary
A Reddit user in a long-COVID community ate raw garlic to clear a strep infection, saying they lacked the time or energy for a public doctor and money for a private one. They took about half a head (30-40g) daily: the first day was fine, they vomited on the second, kept it down on the third, and still felt awful for about five minutes before it calmed down. The posts say nothing about their long-COVID symptoms or overall course.
