Really big cooties

[u]GIANTmicrobes[/u] has a rather interesting line of plush toys.

For example, the Common Cold:

Herpes looks like a fried egg, and Mange looks pissed off. They even have Beer & Bread (yeast). :laughing:

Wow! They have gifts for the whole family, lyme disease, plague, malaria, giardia, and my personal favorite toxoplasmosis! Here kitty, kittty, kitty! :smiling_imp:

One of Johanna’s favorite souvenirs from London was “Flu” (she remembered that I was hospitalized with what was called at the time “The London Flu” when I was about the same age, so she thought it was fitting!).

Redwolf

Cu - eeeeewwwwwwwwwwww! - t!

(emphasis on the 'ew!)

Very interesting. I’m contemplating sending my Gambia-bound daughter with a malaria plushy, with instructions that this is the only malaria she may bring home.

:laughing: These are too good!! I may have to get one for Mr Izz when he graduates from Nursing school in the spring :smiley:

Might I suggest [u]MRSA[/u]? :smiling_imp:

That was the one I was thinking of, actually :wink: I love it’s little cape :smiley:

I think I’ll get a yeast one for my brother-in-law; he’s a beer fanatic.

“Flesh eating bacteria” has a little knife and fork. :slight_smile:

Oooh - I didn’t know that Infectious Awareables had these guys! I have to get one for our epidemiologist at work who is going to be leaving us.

I love the clothing that they have as well - http://www.iawareables.com/home.htm A few years ago we bought our then-boss a chlamydia tie - he used to wear it all the time.

I posted this one in the Cutie Pie thread:

The young’un has a stuffed yeast from these purveyors. I think she wants a flesh-eating bacterium, too.

What a great site! and just in time for the holidays. :smiley:

I like the sarcops mites. Toxic mold is definitely menacing but staph is a cutie.

Just in time for Xmas! :smiling_imp:
