Does the Wii U game pad actually detect breath?

In both Wii Fit U and NintendoLand there are games where you have to blow into the game pad's microphone to complete them. I don't like the idea of blowing moisture into electronics so I've tried to cheat by making sounds like I'm blowing in the microphone but it cleverly detects that I'm not doing it properly. Can it actually detect breath or would the right sound fool it?
