Oh yeah, I posted on this a while ago. Very effective.
Tip: Thread embroidery cotton (or regular cotton doubled) up and back down thru the garlic clove and tie the ends together. Unless you feel like a frusrating half hour in the bathroom trying to get a hold on the by now slippery little f--ker!
Can the garlic be used as a preventative?
I typically like to get out of my bike shorts as soon as I come off the bike, but on Sunday we plan on riding/stopping/riding/eating/riding etc. for most of the day. Weather forecasts call for some heat, hence... sweaty shorts.
I would like to ward off the Yeastie Beasties before they attack.
