it kept them from catching the disease
so they had an easy time robbing the dead

and Garlic in those days was called the four thieves

and thats where the legend of it warding off EVIL
originated because disease was considered to be EVIL spirits

Fleas transmitted the disease of the plague by biting people
and the garlic kept the fleas off of the men

Note: if you cut a clove of garlic and throw
it into stagnant water - full of mosquito larvae
it kills them all... as the oil ends up on the surface

Garlic chewables for dogs found there...
That too Raven, the Fromm's has garlic in it and the wholesaler told me it worked well to repel tick/felas. Between the two it's so far, so good.
