Flies? Try Tansy!

This potherb can be poisonous in quantity. (Tanacetum Vulgare)

It's leaves along with flowers makes "wormifuge" tea and it keeps small flies away. Or so it's been said.

Tansy grows 3ft tall. It's bitter and strong smelling, it spices up the pallet so don't take a big bite! It's a yellow flowering plant with "feathery" leaves. (Almost fern like).

This raw, can also can quench hunger pains on long hikes- or car trips with a driver who doesn't like pit stops. Though only consume a small amount twice in one day. No more, and less is better. The leaves are what to nibble on. About three same size leaves. Only do infrequently. Not every trip. Not a way to lose weight by staving off the need to eat.
