^ Pickled garlic

The Chicago Reader says that if you’re starting to feel sick, you just need a little booze and garlic.

You’re feeling that faint scratch in the back of your throat. Your nasal passages are beginning to close. A dull ache tightens its grip on your joints.

The prescription: a squirt of echinacea, 500 mg vitamin C, 50 mg zinc, one raw garlic clove, all washed down with a shot of Wild Turkey. Or two. You’ll be fine.

And now you know.
