Marmite is an acquired taste, imo. The first time I ate it, I spread 
it a little too thickly on my toast and found it very, very 
overpowering. It has a salty, bracing taste. After that I used it a 
bit more sparingly. I don't know how effective it is against fleas, 
but after a week of eating it, my face was smoother (I have somewhat 
dry facial skin).
