Eat garlic on a regular basis while not eating table sugar. Then they will bite other people, not you.

Garlic in your system repels ticks too.

I also collect and sprinkle used coffee grounds around the porch, deck, and other areas outside I wish to sit within without being eaten alive.

It beats the hell out of DEET.

I've heard that eating brewers yeast regularly will repel them too.

Hmmm, I'll have to look into that. I guess drinking the product of the yeast doesn't work, ehh? haha

I think you'd have to get a traditional, unpasteurized beer and drink the yeast from the bottom of the bottle. Most likely from the bottom of 5 or 6 bottles to get the full effect.
