Absolutely.  My mistake.  Store it under
refrigeration, just to be safe.  C. botulinum is *not*
something you want to play with.

For what it's worth, though, I haven't heard of any
botulism 'outbreaks' related to garlic packed in olive
oil in quite a few years... but, why take the chance?
Store it in the 'fridge.
