Just my right hand smells like garlic could you give me an explanation ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wild guess: Could you be left handed, and holding garlic with right hand? Maybe while mincing it with a knife in your left hand? Or maybe you're right handed and touched the garlic with your right hand . . . . Or were cooking or eating something that had garlic on it? I'm sorry i can't be more specific -- you know far better than we on healthtap, what your hands have been doing.
