Actually, the "flowers of sulfur" that can be purchased at your local
drugstore (and is powdered sulfur) has very little taste. A botany
professor I knew used to take a pinch of the stuff about weekly,
supposedly to keep him mosquito- and tick-free. I, too, thought it
sounded ghastly until I tried it. It's virtually tasteless. It probably does
make us smell bad if we overindulge. Then, we'd be people-free, as
well.
