From ancient Greek lore to vampire movies and modern medicine, what other herb invokes such strong feelings in people as allium sativum—better known as garlic?

- large quantities of raw garlic can prevent roundworm and other parasites
- and a mixture of crushed garlic and water can rid roses of aphids
