Answers:
Onions and garlic contain powerful volatile sulfur compounds which produce the same odor found in rotten eggs!. The chemical makeup of onions and garlic are sulfur compounds themselves!. So when you're consuming onions and garlic, you're eating nothing but sulfur compounds!.

If you brush your teeth and rinse your mouth after eating them you would be fine, or just carry gum with you and rinse with water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They also get trapped in the linings of the lungs and are absorb by the tissue, you may get rid of them temporarily with mouthwash and brushing you teeth but it can be 4-6 hours before the volatile oils are released from the lining and tissues in you lungs, just like smoking, it stays for a time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
