This tiny, wearable patch makes you invisible to mosquitos

I don't understand what covering the CO2 in our breath could do to prevent mosquitoes from biting you when they are around your arm like we can see in the video when the guy puts his arm in the experience box. Does our skin emit CO2?

I don't think the patch helps when you're already surrounded by mosquitoes - the bugs use CO2 to find you in the first place, then find the bare skin using some other means.

In that case, what the hell is going on with their pictures of the arm in a box full of mosquitoes not moving towards the skin? Looks really really shady to me.
