Peppers and garlic have been used for centuries as a preservative (as has
salt).  I've stored garlic in a ceramic garlic storer for a long time, and
braids of garlic hang for a long time.  

So while I appreciate the warning, I really don't think it is likely to get
botulism from garlic infused oil, I think your chances of getting struck by
a car or lightning, or even choking on a piece of garlic or a pepper-seed
is a much more likely scenario. :)
