Research and experiment shows that garlic has antibiotic properties and can therefore be used as antiseptic . Some bacterias have been proved to be especially vulnerable to garlic include:
a. Salmonella Typhi: This is the bacterium that causes typhoid and it is found in human faeces. It is very common in areas with poor sanitation and lack of hygiene caused by inadequate availability of water.
Regular consumption of garlic will not only fight typhoid and also prevent it.

Regular and copious consumption of garlic helps fight and prevent this problem.
