[00:00:00]Struggling to banish that stubborn garlic smell from your hands?

[00:00:04]It's not just surface oils.

[00:00:07]When you chop garlic, sulfur compounds like allicin are released.

[00:00:12]These quickly break down into smaller molecules, particularly one called allyl methyl sulfide or AMS.

[00:00:20]Your skin actually absorbs these tiny, persistent compounds.

[00:00:24]They then enter your bloodstream and are slowly released hours later, not just through your breath, but also through your pores.

[00:00:32]That's why washing alone doesn't always work.

[00:00:36]For a surprising solution, try rubbing your hands on stainless steel. It neutralizes the sulfur.
