SHARK SNEEZE #1 (Small) Shark Repellent Emergency Use with PFDs, survival raft

Description

Shark Sneeze Shark Repellent by Blue Planet DNA Corp.
(tm)
Developed and Manufactured in Key West, FL USA.
For use with Life Vests (PFD - Personal Flotation Device) and Life Rafts.
Most shark repellents on the market are unproven and most are intended for specific situations. Many just do not work beyond the short term because they don't offer any real threat to the shark. Sound and electronic devices have been shown not to work for long for the simple reason that the shark is scared away at first, but then realizes that there is no real danger. Sharks have not survived for hundreds of millions of years because they are stupid. These devices also tend to be very expensive. Every one is a trade off in that the farther the signal travels in the water, the shorter the battery life is going to be. They provide some protection during various water activities and may convince a shark not to attack. Shark Sneeze is not intended for such use, being an emergency device for people floating in the open ocean, especially in lifevests and life rafts.
Electronic magnetic devices will confuse the shark, but a strong magnet can do that too because even a magnet is stronger than the earth's magnetic field that the shark uses for navigation. If you can make the shark go away, then the magnetic confusion may well prevent the shark from finding you again. The Shark Sneeze container cover includes a powerful N50 12mm x 3mm Neodymium Rare Earth Super Strong Magnet, thus even when the container is empty or lost in the water, the magnet in the cover secured by a lanyard will still provide some protection. The large and medium multi-use containers are bright orange to increase your visibility to searchers. The container is this listing is shown as black but they can be either black or red.
(We also recommend purchasing our ResqVester personal life-vest signaling system.)
What the inventors of other products don't seem to realize or simply ignore is the principle of risk and reward. There is no risk provided by any of the devices beyond an initial shock effect. If there is a low level of risk and a high or potentially high level of reward, the shark(s) will be back.
In the case of one device shown on an investor/inventor television show that cost thousands of dollars, it used underwater speakers that played the sounds of killer sharks. The inventor was going to place speakers on the underside of dive boats and the like with installation costs of many thousands of dollars. In the test shown on the program, chum was dumped into the water that attracted a number of sharks that went into a feeding frenzy. The device was turned on and the sharks scattered. It was only a matter of minutes before they returned. The inventer did not impress the potential investors.
In reality, animals are lazy and risk adverse, rather like most people. Even the big cats would rather steal a meal from another cat than go out and hunt for one themselves. Sharks are no different in that regards. Apex predators would rather steal someone else's meal than put in the effort to hunt for themselves, given the opportunity.
The sharks realized that there was no real risk. But perhaps more importantly, they knew that there was a high level of reward -- all the bloody chum in the water. Obviously, with a lower level of reward, a shark repellent does not have to be as effective as deterring sharks in a frenzy, but it does need to present a real risk to the shark, and nothing on the market does that other then BP-DNA's Shark Sneeze Shark Repellent.
The Shark Repellent used by the U.S. Military for many decades contained black dye together with Copper Acetate in a wax form that disolved in water over time. Copper Acetate is believed to minic the smell of dead sharks. Other shark repellents have used Sodium Layryl Sulfate Powder (which also foams and makes it more difficult for the shark to see you). The effectiveness of both copper acetate and Sulfate Powder can be argued, but it has been used for a long time and has proven some effectiveness. Its effectiveness is increased by the black dye, making it more difficult for the shark to see you in the water.
First, Shark Sneeze Repellent has Concentrated Dark Brown Indigo Dye Powder from India.
Sharks rely on their other senses as well as eyesight, but they only see in two colors, either white/red for sharks that live in deeper depths and white/blue for sharks that live near the surface. It does not take alot to obscure their vision. Our example photographs of SharkSneeze dispersal and saturation in water (for 96 hours) illustrate this point.
We all know that Sharks have a highly developed sense of taste/smell.  They are not going to like a chemcial or other substance anymore than we would want to eat it. We use this fact to our advantage. Our repellent gives the shark all sorts of nasty things to taste and smell, greatly raising the risk compared to the reward. The ingredients will not harm a shark or other marine life in the long term but are significant enough to make a shark want to go away and go far away as fast as possible.  Look on the internet and learn how hagfish secretions drive sharks and other predators away in a milli-second and you will understand more fully how sharks react to SharkSneeze.
Even if you have a weapon, ideally you don't want to cause the shark to bleed because the blood in the water is just going to attract more sharks and create a feeding frenzy. Sharks can detect blood in the water from .25 of a mile away. You don't want to be anywhere near that. Shark Sneeze does not cause the shark external injury -- it strongly discourages the shark (internally) so that the shark wants to go away.
Secondly, we include ground Ancho Chile (el mercado), the hottest possible. Think of being sprayed with pepper spray for sake of comparison. Not only does the powder get into the shark's mouth and eyes but it will affect the gills too. These are sensitive areas.
Third, sharks know to keep away from underwater volcanoes and steam vents. What is one of the main substances the shark will encounter there? It is Sulfur. Our shark repellent includes 99.8% Pure Sulfur Powder. Really, who thinks a shark is going to swim towards an underwater volcano? Even diluted in the water for an extended length of time, this alone should keep all types of sharks away at a good distance.
Forth, we don't stop there. Our product includes Denatonium Benzoate which is the MOST BITTER SUBSTANCE known to man. It is used in antifreeze, nail biting products and in other ways. Now it is being used in our product. No shark is going to want to taste that, anymore than you want to drink antifreeze.
Finally, we include two types finely ground  Aluminum Flakes as the strongest deterrent. These flakes will float for a period of time, depending on how rough the seas are. They will gradually fall down through the water discouraging any shark from attacking by coming up below you. The flakes will get into the shark's eyes, mouth and gills. You know how bad it is when you get a little particle of something in your eye. You can't really think about anything else until you get it out. Imagine if that particle was a sharp edged aluminum flake. The shark encountering even one of these things will have the same reaction and will flee. It will certainly forget all about attacking you. Again the actual and meaningful risk of a further encounter far outweighs any possible reward.
Also, the repellent contains activated charcoal which helps to prevent clumping of the product and also serves to cloud the water to prevent a shark from seeing you.
Sharks do not regularly encounter people in the water, and they will bite you mostly out of curiosity to try to figure out what you are and if you are good to eat. BP-DNA Shark Sneeze Repellent will tell the shark you are not good to eat, before it bites you, and generally will discourage the shark at a safe distance. Hopefully the shark will remember these things when it encounters anyone else in the water.
A little nibble for a shark is a serious injury for you.
The product includes an Instruction Guide. Includes a quality adjustable red lanyard. Also includes a small float/bobber (not shown).
The series of photos shows a 3" x 12" container with images taken at intervals, demonstrating that Shark Sneeze will remain suspended in the water for 96 hours or more.
Container and product weighs .4 oz. Container cover screws on and off.
More information and videos are available on our site.
The test photos was of fresh water dispersal. Dispersal in salt water will be slower and will float even longer.
