From the USDA website:
Clostridium
Botulinum -Bacteria produce a toxin that causes illness. Improperly canned foods, garlic in oil, vacuum-packed and tightly wrapped food
Toxin affects the nervous system. Symptoms usually appear 18 to 36 hours, but can sometimes appear as few as 4 hours or as many as 8 days after eating; double vision, droopy eyelids, trouble speaking and swallowing, and difficulty breathing. Fatal in 3 to 10 days if not treated
I also remember preserved garlic as a chrismas present, killed people on the east coast 15 years ago. This might be a myth as I can can nothing about it.
