Summer Blues: Mosquitos vs. Garlic

July 24, 2007 By Matthew Naythons MD Leave a Comment

Mosquitos love me. They’ll pass up a crowded room full of sweating targets before chomping in on my bare arms or legs. An inconvenience at home for sure, but a nasty problem in malarial areas (no safariis for me in the wet months).

So what is a human target to do if they don’t want the DEET repellents? Should they try garlic?
The answer has long been known—forget the garlic.
