Re: Garlic for repelling insects

That would make a pretty dramatic video! However, it is likely factors other than the garlic that are operating here. This study found no effect https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15752181 while a Swiss study with chronic use showed a statistically significant difference but the garlic users still had 66% of participants with bites compared to 69% with no garlic. I'll put that study in our files.

Garlic can also cause hemolytic anemia.
