Answer: When someone eats garlic, it reacts with bacteria in the mouth to create several smelly gases. These dissipate pretty fast. However unlike other foods, one compound in garlic is broken down in the liver into another smelly gas that can go from the bloodstream to your mouth and persists for hours.
