8. You can eat garlic through your feet.
If you rub the sole of your feet with garlic, you’ll feel its taste and smell in the mouth after 30 minutes. It’s all because of allicin — an organic compound that is formed during the mechanical destruction of garlic. Allicin is able to penetrate through the cell membranes, travel through the bloodstream and reach the taste buds. That’s the reason why people who like to eat garlic not only have a bad smell from their mouths but also from their entire body — because the smell dissolves in the blood.
9. One human can feed a million mosquitos.
A human’s body has enough blood to feed on 1.2 — 1.8 mosquitos. Everything depends on the height and weight of the victim as well as the level of the insects’ hunger. One mosquito drinks about 0.003 ml of blood within one bite, therefore, a whole army of tiny bloodsuckers would be needed in order to suck out all the blood of a human. And, of course, this event is unlikely to happen.
