We have lots of huge patches of bear garlic growing in the woods and by streams near us, though it took a while to locate them!
I have been picking and using a lot [leaves and flowers] in salads, a soup, as a wilted greens [like spinach], in pesto, preserved in olive oil and now I am in the process of making an extract, using vodka.
It won't be ready to use for another month, but I am planning to use a few drops three times daily [as per Dr K].
Bear garlic does seem to have a cleansing and maybe antimicrobial effect on me, leaves a pleasant 'clean' taste in the mouth, with a hint of licorice and apparently does not smell on the breath!!
Has anyone else any bear garlic tales to tell or recipes to share? Has it helped you and how?

Hubby used this as part of his treatment for mercury toxicity. That was before he had Lyme.
His was a liquid extract -- took 1 or 2 teaspoons I think. A teaspoon is usually 30 drops or a dropper of most tinctures. I personally don't think that a few drops would be enough to do much for tickborne things. Think you would need an ounce or more.
This is just my opinion and not medical advice.
