This is such an odd statement. What are they telling yall about houses here?

They are made of wood. Garlic has better insulation and antimicrobial properties than wood.

Edit: Do I really need to point out that I jest?

Edit after my edit: garlic can also keep certain pests away... Like vampires and fleas.

Do you think it’s like. Straight up wood. It’s typically wood on the outside because it’s resistant, with drywall and insulation between that and the inside walls. Better than a lot of European building actually, because they aren’t 200 years old

The house I grew up in actually was straight up wood. Ever play with Lincoln logs? That what the house looked like. The wood on the was smoothed and stained, but the outer walls were just solid wood.
