Nowadays, garlic is used not only in Indian cooking but also in many kinds of fast food. However, a lot of times, people start consuming it in large quantities, certainly in the winter season. But be warned; having garlic in excess can seriously harm your health.
Below are a few ways in which consuming too much garlic can harm you.
It can seriously lower your blood pressure

It not only gives you bad breath, but you can also feel an odour emanating from your sweat. Therefore, those who already have the problem of bad breath should not eat garlic too much.
