I have never heard of humans getting heartworms, just dogs and cats & other mammals, but I do KNOW that GARLIC would not kill them.
If a dog is infected, then the Vet would use an arsenic type of poison to get rid of the adult heartworms. I do believe they use something milder or different nowadays.
If you have a dog or cat, best to have them checked first to make sure they are heartworm negative by your Veterinarian, then put them on a heartworm preventative once a month year around. Mosquitoes are the intermediate host, in other words they are the ones who pass on the heartworm from dog to dog or cat to cat.
