Sound advice.

G'day G'day Folks,

As a class demonstration of the speed of blood flowing in the veins I
used to perform this experiment with nursing students.  Two students
would stand close together facing one another.   One student placed
their hand in a fume cupboard with the extractor fan going.
Crushed garlic was dropped on the hand in the fume cupboard.   It
usually took about 14 seconds for the head of the other student to
snap back involuntarily as the first student exhaled fresh garlic
vapour.

I guess it brought home to a few of them that meat is meat and
marinates better alive than dead.   Maybe it saved a few of them
from thinking their skin was an impervious barrier.
