my gut feeling (excuse the pun) is that it probably does not, my
suspicion is that there has never been an appropriately controlled study
to answer the question - why not look up "garlic" and "immun" on medline
and let us know what you find?
Of course, there is much anecdotal evidence that garlic does cause
severe anaphylactic shock in obligate nocturnal post-thanatic
haemophiles. Prof. van Helsing, I believe?
