You laugh, but garlic does keep away blood suckers... Eat a lot of

That myth has been busted.
By a couple jerks in Frisco with questionable techniques and personal
bias or by someone with real scientific training and reasoning?
No.
I could say: "Google on it."
and then you'd say: "No, /you/'ve gotta come up with the cites."
And then I would.
We can save a bunch of effort.
I'll tell ya what /does/ keep mosquitoes away -- smoking.
Fire up a Panter[tm] Rood, and kick back in the chaise longe
in the back yard, in unbitten and un-blood-sucken paradise.
Maybe while also sipping a gin & ginger beer on the rocks,
with the Cardinals game humming along on the radio.
Nope it's AF / Hemmingway's 1 every 4 hours and one of that nasty looking
backwoods every hour. Throw a brisket on the smoker/grill relax with some Celis
wheat or Foster Bitters and MotoGp on the satellite.

History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational
basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the
unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and
spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from
fiddling with it.
