Garlic, Sour Cream and Leeches

http://www.uib.no/isf/people/doc/leech.htm
One day, someone arbitrarily decreed that a little garlic each day keeps vampires away. Science disagrees. According to a recent study, leeches gorge on garlic, then shrivel up and die. The conclusion for vampires is obvious. Wearing a string of garlic at night is like setting up a roach motel. Vampires may check in, but only after your blood checks out. This fall I'm sticking with bug repellant.
