A member asked:
I want to take garlic pills to fight of mosquitos. will it give me a noticeable smell, however? one that people around me will be able to smell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably no smell: Unfortunately there is little evidence that garlic pills or garlic in any form will ward off mosquitoes. The gold standard is DEET - all others are much less effective or not effective at all. You might check Consumer Reports for a recent article on the effectiveness of anti-mosquito agents.
