Don't you love mosquitoes. of course you don't and i don't blame you. it also doesn't help that these annoying creature carry malaria. (If you didn't know malaria is a life threatening disease.) The invention is called a kite patch which will repel mosquitoes for up to 48 hours. This patch will basically make you invisible to all mosquitoes. The patch will easily stick to clothing and various forms of equipment. the reason the Kite patch is truly being developed is because "Malaria continues to kill a child every minute of the day – which is why we’re working 24/7 to build a new approach to help change the game against mosquitoes." - Grey Frandsen, Kite Patch Team Lead. The Kite patch will begin selling in Uganda which is the largest country affected by malaria. Although you may think that you cant possibly wait to get one your going to have to because it could take up to a year to be approved to sell in the US.
