Calamities

Giantmicrobes - Anthrax

Anthrax. What a great thing to use as a weapon! Or so some in the"civilized world"seem to think. Since the disease is non-contagious, can form durable sores, and mostly because is can be deadly, it is considered a prime candidate for weaponization. When they are not purposely attacked with it, people usually get anthrax by touching infected animals or animal products such as wool. An untreated anthrax skin infection will cause death in about 20% of those infected. Those with intestinal infection after ingesting the disease will find the odds of survival against them with up to a 60% death rate after experiencing nausea, loss of appetite, fever, abdominal pain, vomiting of blood, and severe diarrhea.GIANTmicrobes - Anthrax is completely harmless (cute even) and the only kind of anthrax you can legally send through the mail in this country. Get yours today!Each GIANTmicrobe comes with a picture and information about the real microbe it represents. Great as a fun gift, GIANTmicrobes also make outstanding visual educational tools.GIANTmicrobes - Anthrax measures approximately 3 1/2"around and is about 6"long.		Giantmicrobes - Black Death

Responsible for an estimated 137,000,000 deaths, the Black Death (Yersinia pestis) was the scourge of the second half of the 14th century. As a matter of fact, the Plague has ravaged mankind at least three other times in history, and probably more. Transmitted by fleas, symptoms include massive swelling at the site of the bite which turn black as they worsen, fever, chills, headache, exhaustion, and in about 60% of the population, death.Each GIANTmicrobe comes with a picture and information about the real microbe it represents.

Giantmicrobes - Ebola

When curses just don't say enough, give the gift of Ebola! Named for a river in the Congo where it first showed up, Ebola virus is lethal. When you first get Ebola, you might feel slightly under the weather and attempt to shrug it off. Bad idea. Symptoms quickly evolve into diarrhea, serious stomach pain, puking, and both internal and external bleeding. Next comes death, which might even be welcomed at that point. Your odds of getting Ebola hemorrhagic fever are extremely rare, and other than one infection in England and a few isolated quarantined monkey facility incidents in Italy and the United States, Ebola cases have been confined to remote parts of Africa.Each GIANTmicrobe comes with a picture and information about the real microbe it represents. Great as a fun gift, GIANTmicrobes also make outstanding visual educational tools.GIANTmicrobes - Ebola Virus looks like a big, furry worm that measures approximately 7"x 4"1 1/4".
Giantmicrobes - Flesh-eating Disease

Soup's on! At least that's what the flesh-eating disease hears after it literally gets under your skin. Caused by manic strains of the same bacteria that cause strep throat, Streptococcus pyogenes spreads so rapidly that it can consume an inch of flesh per hour. The process is extremely painful and if not treated quickly with antibiotics and removal of infected areas, will result in morality rates as high as 73%. So, if you get a skin injury - even as small as a pinprick - that hurtswaytoo much accompanied by flu-like symptoms and purplish blisters, you just might be on the menu!Each GIANTmicrobe comes with a picture and information about the real microbe it represents. Great as a fun gift, GIANTmicrobes also make outstanding visual educational tools.GIANTmicrobes - Flesh-eating Disease measures approximately 5 1/2 inches long and is about 3 1/2 inches around.		Giantmicrobes - Mad Cow Disease

Mad cow disease doesn't mean that the infected need to seek out bovine anger management classes. Rather, it means that you might notice your cow undergo a change in attitude and behavior accompanied by gradual uncoordinated movements, trouble standing and walking, weight loss despite having an appetite, decreased milk production, and finally death. This is caused by the disease eating holes through the victims brain. Not pretty. What's worse is that humans can get the disease by eating infected cows. Vegetarians are not at risk.Each GIANTmicrobe comes with a picture and information about the real microbe it represents. Great as a fun gift, GIANTmicrobes also make outstanding visual educational tools.GIANTmicrobes - Mad Cow Disease measures approximately 8 inches long by 2 inches round.
