B1. It seems that large quantities of B1 (vitamin) cause an odor about the mammel (e.g. it works for people, too) that is undetectable by the human nose, but seems to be obnoxious to small insects (e.g. fleas, mosquitos ). We used to feed Brewer's Yeast to our dogs and cats, all of whom lived in the great outdoors on our farm, and we never had problems with fleas or ticks. -- ________ ( ) Don Stanwyck @( o o )@ 312-979-3062 ( || ) Cornet-367-3062 ( \__/ ) ihnp4!ihuxr!stanwyck (______) Bell Labs @ Naperville, IL
