Crush it and leave it to air for around 10 mins before eating, it allows more of the allilin to be converted to alicin.

If I know I'm travelling somewhere using trains or planes, I eat a clove of raw garlic every day for 2-3 days before hand and on the day (with a good supply of chewing gum in pocket).

Boosts immune system. It's important to take it pre, as according to studies it doesn't have a statistically-significant effect if consumed during a cold / flu.

Reading my comment back it does sound quite random without that nugget of info, so I understand why you asked haha.
