I'm actually more worried about the anti-mosquito tags for humans. And not because some clueless tourist may go unprotected into mosquito-transmitted diseases. With those two patents and their marketing, I worry someone will get a grant for deploying those tags in malaria-ridden places, meaning a lot of money that could save actual lives will go down the drain, further reducing both effectiveness and trust in charitable efforts.
Running a business like this while knowing the product is bullshit is what I would call sociopathic.
It's already happening. Austin based ShooTag maker Energetic Solutions is supplying earthquake survivors and relief workers in Haiti with their odious cards.
I'd be inclined to agree it's sociopathic except I've met too many woo-believers that are just loony.
