The "Don't Bite Me! Patch" is operated in Houston, TX, where insects are a huge problem.  the owners of the company are not chemists, just parents who wanted to make a difference.  "We stumbled onto a similar product on the internet, but discovered that it needed some improvements and had some legal liability issues.  We then decided to go forward with our own patch and make the improvements needed.  The result is the "Don't Bite Me! Patch!", says Chari Kauffman.  "The effectiveness of the product and its ability to help so many people worldwide is what has made us so passionate about our product.  We are driven to make this product available worldwide.  We especially would like to see this product get to Africa, where one child dies every 30 seconds from Malaria. "She continues, "Malaria is a totally treatable and preventable disease, yet thousands of children under the age of five die every year from Malaria.  We know the "Don't Bite Me! Patch" could help make a difference."
