Certain populations may be more susceptible to the toxic effects of garlic, including:
Pregnant and Nursing Women: While garlic is generally safe in culinary amounts, high doses should be avoided due to the lack of sufficient safety data. Surgical Patients: Due to its antiplatelet activity, garlic should be discontinued at least two weeks before surgery to reduce bleeding risk. Individuals with Bleeding Disorders: People with bleeding disorders should exercise caution and consult with their healthcare provider before consuming garlic supplements.
