Yup, that works, but I have found something that works
real well: Brewers Yeast

It can be purchased at any health food shop and does wonders for repelling
fleas, 'skeeters, etc.  It really makes your skin taste bad. (Note: it really
doesn't make you smell :-)

Oh, by the way, if you ever feed the stuff to a cat, you will make a friend for
life. (Plus give it a better coat..)
