Kimchi is devastating no doubt, if you are the one not eating it, however i will swear by it in terms of keeping colds and flus at bay....it even was a great deterrent to the avian flu in Asia a few years ago. Very volatile stuff. thats why they have those special (chlorophyl? mint?) pills you can swallow afterward which go right into the stomach and neutralize any of the garlic odors of that stuff on contact. mouthwash and toothpaste just does NOT cut it after “kimchi”. God bless them Koreans ;-)

I keep bottles of hot sauce that'll sweat that bug right out of ya. Anything that's 50,000+ Scoville units will either flush it our of your system, or you'll be in too much agony to worry about what else is crawling around inside your digestive tract. LOL
