A netizen shared an experience of feeling severe dizziness and nausea after drinking a bowl of homemade garlic chicken soup made with an excessive amount of garlic cloves and a chicken leg, simmered for over three hours. Agricultural Children's Net warns that while garlic has health benefits like blood purification and antibacterial properties, consuming too much can interfere with vitamin B absorption and irritate the eyes, causing side effects like dizziness or nausea. Experts pointed out that the high concentration of allicin in garlic cloves was likely the cause of the discomfort, emphasizing the importance of moderating the amount used in cooking for safety.
