    Hey check this out when I was in the Boy Scouts the troop leader while we were camping in Cuyamaca and San Diego he told us to eat fresh garlic a couple of cloves circulating through your system when the skeeters land on you they fly away they don’t like garlic. Some of the kids did not eat garlic at night they were slapping their selves silly keeping the skeeters away it works that’s my two cents.🕶

      That much garlic might repel some insects - mosquitos among them, but in high numbers they overcome it anyway, it's said in this very doc.
      I love garlic and spicy food, but mosquitos, when warm enough for them to wake up, never ever have left me be without surrounding.
      Also, if you're not a daily garlic adept, be careful how much you consume at once. It's not just a legume, spice or food. It's literary medicine, affecting your heart rythms and blood pressure. Friend of my mother died right after eating an entire raw garlic for a bet.
