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!
