Hi,
Allergy desensitization is very effective for allergies to pollen, mites, cats, and especially stinging insects such as bees, hornets, yellowjackets, wasps, velvet ants, and fire ants. Allergy immunotherapy usually takes 6 months to a year to become effective and injections are usually required for 3-5 years.
If you will be given immunotherapy to garlic antigen, there is no proven effectivity to garlic odor allergy. Avoidance of the said odor is the only treatment for now. It is best to discuss this treatment option with your doctor.
Take care and keep us posted.
