The Kite Patch makes you invisible to mosquitoes for up to 48 hours

Some things rarely change; like the toilet. Let’s consider mosquito bites. You buy spray and put it on, spray bomb the area or try a tiki torch? All of these carry some health risks. But the mosquitos persist. Well, this may all be set to change with the Kite Patch.
Imagine if you were invisible to mosquitos for 48 hours. This project has been funded, reaching over $112,000 of their $75,000 goal.
Here is video and details on the Kite Patch.
Kite™ Mosquito Patch is a small, powerful patch that will, when fully developed, allow humans to go virtually undetected by mosquitoes for up to 48 hours. We need your help to finalize the design and share Kite with others - particularly those in regions impacted by malaria. You can reserve yours and send Kite Patch to Africa!
We set out to reengineer how to protect humans from mosquitoes. The result was Kite. Kite™ Mosquito Patch is the world’s first product containing our breakthrough scientific discovery of non-toxic compounds proven to disrupt the mosquito’s ability to track humans using safe, non-toxic compounds.
Kite’s compounds act as a non-topical, spatial repellent, blocking mosquitoes’ ability to detect carbon dioxide – their primary method of tracking human blood meals.
We're building Kite to protect humans in a small, lightweight, durable, and effective patch, in a wide range of conditions in which humans find themselves in contact with mosquitoes.
I am going to get in on this! See it for yourself at http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/kite-patch
