just curious why people use it like it has some medicinal value????.....all garlic is to a fish is an appetite stimulant.....it smells good

From what I have always understood is that parasites do not like the garlic in the fishes system and it can prevent certain parasites from "bothering" the fish.


Anyone shed light on this or have all the LFS been feeding me garlic for no reason? (LFS - not a hit on you guys in any way)
