I heard that 2% soap and 2% mineral oil killed them better than anything.
Can't do that and eat it though.

I'm down to the grim wrappers now, midway through a trial and error of hot water rinsing in the end I had to just peel em down to the cloves. The cloves are still fine at this point, but the bulbs are so wet and green, the wrappers are tearing off the cloves when I pull them apart.
So zero chance of letting them cure a little or eating them as needed.
