Sean, oddly enough, I handled garlic better when I had amalgams still in my mouth, yet without them, the reactions were very very strong. I suddenly started reacting very badly to sulfur products (onions, cabbage, chlorella etc) and I believe that it may have something to do with the transition the body goes into after the source of mercury has been removed.

I wonder if the mercury is more readily available to shift around once the source of it has gone because the body is ready to now remove it, since it's no longer having to store it...

Just a thought.
