A member asked:
Do people with a garlic allergy exist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, they do.: Patients allergic to garlic often present skin rash (dermatitis), nasal symptoms (rhinitis), asthma, and hives (urticaria) after ingestion of garlic, contact with garlic, or exposure to garlic dust. Garlic-related anaphylaxis is rare. Most patients with spice allergy are adults rather than children.
