Kite Patch Will Save Lives!

This is history in the making!  I do tend to get excited by various products but this is my new favourite. This is the revolution we need to help prevent malaria.  When visiting Africa it always amazed me how one little mosquito can cause so much destruction.

I think of the quote by Dalai Lama XIV:

“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.”

The patch contains a non-toxic compounds proven to disrupt the mosquito’s ability to track humans using safe, non-toxic compounds. How cool is that?
