Has anyone seen this?  If this is real, I want it.  What are your thoughts?

Revolutionary indeed!

I think I'll stick with permanone sprays.  At least there is a longer body of research and I KNOW exactly what NOT to do.

Interferes with neuron receptors of a mosquito?  Yikes? Forms a "plume" around the human body for 48 hrs?

I'll give it a few years and see what comes of it all...I don't always use the head I've got as well as I could, but I don't need to grow another head or something!    :eek:  

I wish them luck!!! Sounds wonderful...

Interesting concept.  Taking the Co2 theory one step further.  The Navy experimented and designed the first Co2 "attractant" devices that are now marketed for home use with a propane tank.  The mosquitos are attracted to our Co2 that we expel when we breathe, so these devices create Co2, attract the skeeters, and they are trapped inside and die.  This "Kite" eliminates or masks our Co2 "scent" to them and so they avoid us.  Very interesting theory.  Rather than repel them, just cloak us so they don't "see" us.

A few years ago there was a "green" product called Bugs Bands.  These were little rubber bracelets that were impregnated with a natural citronella based repellant.  They worked OK, but faded after a few days of use.

At this point through their website your purchase can send the patches to countries in need, yourself, or both depending on the kit chosen. I think $35 starts the kits that you send some and get some. Interesting idea.

My youngest son is a bug magnet and swells like crazy from any bite. I'm going to research it further.
This stuff ain't no rocket surgery science!

This could be a really big deal if it works as good as they say. I need something since my Thermocell poofed up when I turned it on.
