An End to Being “Eaten Alive”
Q: I used to hide indoors all summer because I seemed to be a magnet for mosquitoes. But I’ve found that if I take Kyolic odorless garlic, 600 milligrams per tablet, two tablets each morning, it keeps mosquitoes away. I also haven’t had a cold since I started using it. I wanted to share this information with you in case other readers have the same problem.
Dr. Wright: Thank you for passing along this tip. I’m glad it works for you, and hope it works for other readers. Other readers (from Alaska) have informed me that 500 to 1,000 milligrams of thiamine (B1) taken every four to six hours keeps mosquitoes away for them. This much thiamine is safe, but may cause drowsiness in the occasional individual.
