    Old timer's use to eat sulfur to repel mosquitoes. They would eat it then later they(their skin,sweat,etc.) would start smelling like sulfur. Take at your own risk(your wife may even throw you out of the house). Here is a recipe: How to Eat Sulfur for Mosquito Repellent | eHow

    • Thoroughly mix together 2 tsp. sulfur, 1 tsp. of Cream of Tartar and 1 pint of honey in a pint jar. Sulfur can be found over the counter in most pharmacies.
    • Take 1 tsp. of this recipe every day. It will take about two weeks for the repellent to become effective.
    • Continue consuming this recipe throughout the mosquito season. Be certain to thoroughly mix this recipe before consuming it.
    Be safe and good luck fishing

    Same with Garlic, people eat cloves, some say onion works also, but you would have to eat ALOT every day...I eat a lot of Tomatoes sliced with garlic powder and alittle sea salt in summer...it seems to be OK around home.
    But when I fish in summer, it is always at night...you can hear the swarms buzzing, so I break out the Sawyers just to prevent severe blood loss and agony of swelling and itchin from millions of holes!

    I know one thing for sure, you won't have to worry about vampires if you eat a lot of garlic! LOL!
