hi anne
a mild burn is ok but you may be sensitive to garlic and therefore should not eat in large amounts or ingest as a medicine.
symptoms of sensitivity towards garlic include- nausea, uncomfortable heat and/or upset stomach. your body may not digest sulfur compounds well causing gas/bloating.

you can try to reduce the amount you eat and perhaps grind the garlic into small finer pieces. maybe fennel will help settle the stomach if this becomes a regular practice. you can also try roasting the garlic bulb to mellow its strength. the book mentions eating small amounts frequently at the onset of a cold or flu for a natural antibiotic effect.
