I wonder if that works. One of the problems that I had when I visited Korea is that everyone smelled like garlic for the first three days. After eating the local cuisine, I stopped noticing the smell. Then when I came home, everyone told me I smelled like garlic for the first three days.
We spray our yard / trees / shrubs / building walls / foundation – basically everything around the house with 4oz of garlic oil mixed to 1 gal of water – we found it keeps the mosquitoes away – lasts about 3 weeks if no rain or sprinkler system – learned about it from Disney Land tips and tricks – they use it so the pest don’t bother the guests… Does not kill the good bugs (bees, lightning bugs and butterflies) – We also found it does not keep the ticks / flies or wasps away…
Ha, not in my family. Now she is going out to everyone and saying something like. “You just gotta try this one. He’s awful. Just awful. Prove me wrong.”
Hmm? Is it really good to drink bleech to avoid mosquitos??? What’s in the bottle… Garlic? Ahhh, bleech also mean “not tasting good”, and “bleach” has a different spelling! :D
So, garlic it is for warding off mosquitos. I don’t eat a lot of it, but maybe it’s in the blood from all the Italian ancestors of mine. My wife has none, so maybe that’s why she gets attacked so badly.

Minor point, only the females suck blood, kinda like in some other species I could mention.

The garlic should work to shoo off vampires. But does it also work for mosquitos?

Reminds me of an animated short about mosquitos I saw on late night PBS decades ago… it was very bizarre and gross.

Mosquitoes aren’t into ‘additives.’

This actually works if you eat enough garlic. But everybody in your family and friends has to do it too, or they will avoid you, as well.

One day we might have sterile mosquitoes with the CRISPR gene, but time will tell if it works out.

I simply insert a garlic bulb suppository. Do not do this in Italy.
