Oversized diseases!

Someone in the AFI forums posted these and I had to steal the link. Stuffed toys of disease microbes! I WANT ONE! I want E.Coli, the Plague, and TB! The HIV one is cute too ( that sounds SO wrong )

Haha that is so weird, but I do rather like the cough.
The housefly, the sore throat and the red blood cell are nice too.

I want the Black Death!

Improved hygiene and readily available antibiotics keep this bad boy at bay. But what a history. Find out more about the good old days.

Besides, it's sooo goffick... =P

That is what they are for I think. But anyone can buy them also. I really really love E.coli ! He looks like an octopus or something! I grew some E.coli in animal biology at college. Mine was called Brian.

I've seen these in several places online. They are really cute. I would love to get a few and use them as throw pillows in my living room.

I wondered why when looking up Ebola on wikipedia I saw a stuffed animal. Do they all come with free samples of the actual disease?

My old biology teacher used to have some of those. That was perhaps the one cool thing about her...

I'm thinking of giving my sister syphilis for Christmas.

I think she'd really like it.
