Every year millions of people die or suffer greatly because of the disease and dysentery that’s caused by the mosquitoes that transmit malaria and other diseases. But scientists may have come up with a solution that would save lives and end a lot of suffering. Daily Mail has the story:
…a technology firm based in California claims to have the answer – a patch which makes the wearer invisible to the insects.
The Kite Patch uses non-toxic compounds that disrupt mosquitoes’ ability to find people through CO2 for up to 48 hours.
The technology was developed by Olfactor Laboratories and the University of California at Riverside, with backing from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.
Ordinary people, pursuing their interests and others risking through investment think up and deliver the most extraordinary things.
