In mythology, vampires are repelled by garlic because it has a strong odor. Vampires have heightened sense of smell and taste and the lingering aspect of garlic makes it difficult for vampires to tolerate.

In reality, some vampires find it repulsive and some do not. Garlic by itself does not carry chemical chains that can harm a vampire's digestion but the aftertaste or odor can put off vampires that have a higher sense of smell/taste than others. Garlic is not 'off-limits'. A vampire in reality can eat regular food but the craving for blood is always more vibrant and of higher priority than the craving for regular food.

Are there vampires who are immune to garlic?

Immune is the wrong word. There are vampires that are unaffected by garlic, as it has no special meaning to vampires in general. Count Dracula had a strong adverse reaction to the stuff and from his fame the stereotype has become applied to all vampires. If you are being molested by a vampire do not count on garlic to save you.


Will taking garlic pills help repel mosquitoes?

Mosquitoes don't like the smell of garlic so if you eat something with garlic in, it goes into your blood stream and they smell/taste it. Kind of like the stereo-type of vampires.
