I don’t believe that garlic keeps skeeters at bay. There is relatively little that I cook that does not contain garlic, so I hardly ever go even a day without eating garlic, but I’m constantly covered in welts.
The good Kyolic garlic supplements are many times stronger, as well as being from dehydrated raw garlic, than simply eating a bit of cooked garlic in your food. We live on a river and have a lot of mosquitos. I used to get lots of bites before I started taking it; of course, the raw, megadose capsules might not work the same for everybody. - I even get results with the cheaper Walmart Odorless Garlic. At least it’s odorless until it gets in the digestive system, so one doesn’t burp it up.
