I too have heard these claims about repelling skeeters. The only thing I know for sure is that my dad used to take Zinc, but he quit because he said it caused him to have more body odor than nomal. B.O. is one thing we don't need more trouble with. Anyone else have the same result with Zinc?

I take 2400mg of garlic a day as well as 1200mg of fish oil. I swear by it for a lot of health benefits.
However, I live in the Mississippi swamps and these mosquitos must like a little garlic in their soup. BTW, I take the oderless garlic and so far no one has mentioned body odor. Far as I can tell the deer hav'nt noticed either.
Smelling under my armpits now . . .seems okey!!

In a large study done in Europe a few years back, fish oil reduced risk of heart attack, all cause mortality, and coronary artery disease.

Unfortunately similar studies haven't been done yet in the US other wise you might even be able to get your insurance to cover it!


Ever since my dad had his heart attack, I've had him on a fish oil a day.
