I think the only way to get botulism from garlic is if it's stored improperly in olive oil.. The oil goes rancid w/ the garlic and you can get sick.. I've never heard of anyone getting it but, I don't want to be the one that gets it... good luck

Garlic can contain botulism spores, which occur naturally in soil. To grow, botulism spores require a completely anaerobic environment (no air), such as being immersed in oil or some other non-acidic fluid. It takes several days at room temperature before there is a risk.
