One of the worst experiences of my life. Shakes, breathlessness, crushing sense of impending doom, heart going all tachy, the works. Lasted three hours. Dude, that was only, like, four or five minutes. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > Kind of like thinking that garlic keeps the vampires away. 😃 It certainly does. I have garlic in my fridge most always, garlic powder in my spice cabinet, even garlic juice, and I have yet to see a vampire anywhere near my kitchen.
