[Rockhounds] Swedish Mineral Sites

Would it work if I was to just drink a lot of beers?

Hello List,

Several years ago, Dr. Leonard Smith was on Johnny Carson Show and a lady  
called in and asked the doctor how could she protect her children from 
mosquito  bites. He said to do what he does and that was to take one Brewers 
Yeast each  day during the summer. The mosquitos and other insects don't like 
the smell of  the yeast and doesn't bite and won't bite.  

I tried it when I used to work at the Submarine Base in ST. Mary's, GA. It  
WORKS!!!! 
So when I know that I am going out where there a lot of insects, I take  
Brewers Yeast and the insects fly up to about a foot away from me and then 
they  fly in a different direction. 
It usually takes about 2 weeks to get enough in your body, so take it 2  
weeks before you go on digs or trips.
People can't smell it, but all insects can smell it and they hate it.  

I caused a run on all the local stores the first year I went to Florida and 
Georgia to work. They ran out of Brewers Yeast the first month I was 
there. 

So enjoy, your summer without insect bites.

Hi  Jack,

If you're into fluorescence you might want to visit Langban...  
Lots of calcite, svabite, tilasite,  ....

You  need a short wave UV-source and LOTS of mosquito-spray I'm  told...

Cheers
