Summer Blues: Mosquitos vs. Garlic
Mon, 07/23/2007 - 22:58 — Matthew Naythons MD
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.
