Please help! I stink of garlic!

Can anyone help?

I am going out for lunch today but I STINK of garlic! :oI made a particularly potent tomato and garlice sauce last night for dinner and I reak of it still today. Even when I woke up with my son at 3.30am I had to brush my teeth again because my breath was honking!:tongue:

Does anyone have any ideas for getting rid of garlic breath very quickly as already today I have brushed my teeth and used mouth wash four times and it smells disgusting?! _pale_

HELP!!!

Thanks for any ideas

    If you've had that much garlic, it will be coming out of your pores. Nothing you can do.
    Just accept it with a wry smile and apologise when you meet your friends for having a wee bit too much garlic last night.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    This is what my Mum says! She always knows when I've had garlic the night before as it does come out of my pores! Aargh! :mad:

    not alot you can do as even if you get rid of the garlic breath, you will still have to odour seeping out your skin pores.

    Do you think that dried parsley will have the same effect? :rotfl:

  • Have a shower, brush your teeth and carry some mints in your bag.

    Then forget about it. Most people eat garlic. It's really not a big deal.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    Check, check and check!
    I can always blame it on my son!

    If you don't have fresh parsley do you have fresh rosemary? An sprig about an inch long in a mug, boiling water...to make a home rosemary ''tea'' works well on breath. I take mine with a slice of lemon too.
