Yeah, it's a danger.  Botulism is a bacteria that develops in anaerobic
environments (no oxigen).  This means, oil is perfect for it.

I have done garlic oil and left it, along with the garlic in it, for ever
on the counter top and have never been sick.  *However*, I now only make
small batches that I will use within a few days, and keep it in the frige.
