Re: [RC] [RC] Garlic as a natural wormer - Sheila_Larsen - Rachel Rosenblum

I beg to differ on the mosquito-deterrent properties of garlic.  For
YEARS I have gotten eaten alive outdoors in the warm months.... grew up
in NJ & the skeeters there are vicious!  My old TB eventer faced the
same fate till I started feeding him garlic powder.  The poor guy is
very sensitive to bites & got a new large welt every time he was
bit..... in the summer I called him "Lumpy".  Someone had mentioned to
me that garlic might work & it sure did!  In the 5yrs we've lived in
the Sacramento valley, he's had maybe 3 or 4 welts..... the skeeters
here are dense due to the rice patties.  So I decided to try it
myself.... 2 "odorless" garlic tabs every morning.  At one point I ran
out & couldn't get more for about a week..... within 3 days I was
getting all bit up again.  Started taking it again & the bites stopped.
I don't even here them buzzing around my head anymore!
