It’s the only time anyone will thank you for giving them gonorrhea…syphilis, malaria or fleas. It’s the only time parents will enjoy sharing a sore throat, stomach ache, ear ache or rabies with their kids.

Ever wonder what it would be like cuddling up with a nice soft flu virus?

Have you ever known of syphilis looking so cute?

I do believe I’ve been introduced to THEE gift for the person who truly does have everything!

Getting cozy with diseases might not be your idea of a good time but imagine how much fun and educational it will be to share these little scientific critters with your children.

GIANTmicrobes are hoping they will be the hottest thing since the teddy bear - and while I don’t see that happening exactly, I do see a really cute niche gift that can be shared in a variety of ways.

Visit GIANTMicrobes to see the various ailments, diseases and pests they carry - most items priced at $7.95.

Thanks for the tip Angi
