I guess not. Eating raw garlic has been used as a natural cure for centuries for everything from treating the common cold to fighting skin fungus. There are many claims that garlic may also prevent cancer, lower cholesterol, and kill viral infections. Garlic is cheap and it won't kill you.
Why Is Garlic Good For You?
Garlic contains germanium and selenium, which are sulfur-containing antioxidants that boost the immune system. And raw garlic is by itself one of the most potent boosters of your natural killer cells.
Side-Effects
Raw garlic is very strong, so eating too much could produce problems, for example irritation of or even damage to the digestive tract.
There are a few people who are allergic to garlic. Symptoms of garlic allergy include skin rash, temperature and headaches. Also, garlic could potentially disrupt anti-coagulants, so it's best avoided before surgery. As with any medicine, always check with your doctor first and tell your doctor if you are using it.

First of all if you got half way thry eating it before you realized it then there are two things to say: 1. If it was Raw all the way thru HOW did you get 1/2 way thru with out realizing it. 2. If it was kind of thick in the middle chances are you may have only had a bite or two of raw stuff becuase it was most likely on raw in the very middle/center. I also hope you showed the manager the raw chicken as soon as you realized. And as fasr as side effects, the posters above me were right.

it would be best to eat the raw garlic mixed or minced with other foods
but
eating two or three cloves without anything else or on a empty stomach could cause throat and stomach burning/irritations.

Hi there GARLIC is terrible to eat raw you would have bad breath scare everyone away and not to mention if you work in a hot place with other people you will sweat it out and believe you me it smells yucky.
But PLEASE keep doing it by all means if you like it.
Good luck

I am a former chef, and while it is not dangerous, you will taste it for days, the volitile oils get in the lining of you broncial passages that is why it is strong when you breath.
It is not the most pleasant of thing to eat raw, cooked or in something is better, it is more palatable, it is good for study have said you have to consume the equivelent of 2 clove to benefit from it.
