Repellant?

I happened to be reading an article on the medical benefits of garlic. There are many great uses of garlic to keep good health and whatnot. Then, near the end of the article, there is this use of garlic:

The strong smell of garlic is reported to repel insects, including mosquitoes. There are two ways to use garlic against bugs: you can keep them out of your yard by spraying a commercially-prepared garlic oil over the grass, or simply keep them from biting you by eating so much garlic that it seeps out through your skin.

And I was like... what?

...by eating so much garlic that it seeps out through your skin.

You'll end up repelling more humans than insects. O_o
