Somewhere I read that Vitamin B-1 was an effective bug repellent if taken a 
day or two (and continued use was the norm) before setting out on a hike in the 
woods.  I bought the B-1 but have not put it to the test as of this date.  
The place where I read it said that the Thiamin gave off an odor undetectable to 
humans (and after a day of hiking how could anyone detect anything from a 
human) but recognized by flying insects and ticks, etc.

Is this true?   Has anyone any experience with this theory.  Imagine!  An 
antidote to mosquitos and other pests in a vitamin!  Can it be true?
