Wearables to reduce the Zika epidemic

The World Health Organization declared a global emergency last week due to the "Zika" virus. Scientists are currently looking for a vaccine to respond to this epidemic, but it appears to be a Wearable-like device that may be helping to slow the spread of the infection for the time being.

Researchers say device can alone protect the wearer, unlike conventional mosquito repellents that only work in one room.

This Wearable, designed by scientists is called OFF! Clip-On. He behaves like a insecticide by sending repellant vapors through the wristband and a small, built-in battery fan. So, a cloud of product forms around the person who wears and protects them.

The spread of the epidemic could therefore significantly reduce, but it looks like it won't be enough to stop it yet. Indeed, this device tends to eliminate mosquito / human transmission, but not human / human transmission, especially since the transmission of the virus during sexual intercourse has been proven in humans. However, he may use against mosquitoes responsible for the spread of Dengue and Chikungunya.

This device can be purchased in pharmacies or on Internet, for less than 10 euros.
