Kite Patch1 Hides Humans from Mosquitoes
Jul-27-13
| The Kite Patch offers an alternative to toxic sprays, and a new way to fight the spread of diseases, by using a blend2 of ingredients that make humans invisible to mosquitoes. The device, which has already far surpassed3 its funding goal on Indiegogo, is a disposable square only 1.5 inches on each side and is meant to be worn on the clothing. The patch is embedded with a proprietary4 blend of non-toxic, FDA approved compounds5 that disrupt the mosquitoes' ability to track humans through exhaled6 carbon dioxide. Each patch provides 48 hours of protection once it has been exposed to the air. The team developed the patch with the intention of helping stop the spread of mosquito-borne7 diseases in remote areas, and pledge money8 is being used to send the patches to families in Uganda. |
