Giant Microbes
THEY ARE SO COOL. If you are, as my sister called me when I showed her "...a ginormous dork".

BUT THEY ARE SO AWESOMELY AWESOME. My favourite sections right now are Venereals, Calamities and Exotics

I WANT.

I have SO MANY of these, and I still want more :D

The first ones I got were just after I graduated from my BSc in Microbiology. My then boyfriend met me in a rather crowded part of London at 5pm on a Friday, to go hire a van and go back up to uni and collect all my stuff. He handed me a padded envelope and congratulated me on my 2:1. I opened the envelope and inside were giant microbe plushies of flu, common cold and kissing disease.

Yes, I was the one shrieking with delight, in public, at the top of my voice, "MY BOYFRIEND GAVE ME HERPES!!!"

LOL!

I'm thinking I'll be ordering some in the near future...

I've wanted to collect them for ages! There are so many now! Also, I think they make great gifts because you can always say you gave so-and-so the clap for their birthday.

I'm half-tempted to get a bunch of the venereal disease ones and give them to class mates for that very reason.

For now, I'll have to save my pennies and place an order at some point.

At my brother's school they have Ebola in the science department. I think that's pretty awesome.

And I feel really bad for thinking HIV looks absolutely ADORABLE.

I kind of like the Toxic Mold - he's so cute! Also the fat cell (it's an adipose, lol!).

The lab I was in last summer had E. coli and Salmonella.
