Don't Bite Me! Patch

Interesting product... if it works. Read about this on a travel email.

Don't you hate it when you go on a beautiful vacation only to be harassed by mosquitoes and your only option is to douse yourself with nasty smelling DEET chemicals? Thanks to the new Don't Bite Me! Patch, those pesky pests may no longer be going for your sweet blood. That's because the key ingredient in the patch is Vitamin B1 and when applied to the skin, it metabolizes in the body to reduce the human odor that is attractive to insects. Aloe is the other key ingredient and it contains anti-inflammatory properties and has been reported to alleviate pain and swelling associated with itches and burns. NOTE: The clear patches are waterproof, they last up to 36 hours, give total body coverage, are safe for children and best of all are 100% DEET free. Available in boxes of five, 10 or 20 patches.
