GIANTMICROBES - BED BUG

Like vampires, bed bugs avoid sunlight, preferring to come out at night. Another characteristic bed bugs share with vampires is their appetite for human blood. Once you've been feed upon by Cimex lectularius, you'll know by the irritable red spot that you have to keep itching. This GIANTmicrobe is harmless and wants to be your friend. Think about the benefits. Never sleep alone again. Have your blood sucked. Be itchy. Get a bed bug 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 - Bed Bug is about 7 inches long, has a 6 inch leg span, and stands about 2 inches tall.
GIANTMICROBES - BOOKWORM

This bug-eyed bug is one of several types of microorganisms that just love books. Their love comes not from their joy of reading but from their hunger for food. Anobium punctatum is the prototypical bookworm responsible for eating through old codices and manuscripts. Interestingly enough, the bookworm can spend up to five years eating through classics before it undergoes a metamorphosis and flies away full and happy!

GIANTMICROBES - DUST MITE

Dust mites are ravenously hungry and consider your dead skin cells to be some fine dining. As a matter of fact, a person sheds about 1.5 grams of skin cells and flakes each day which is enough to feed about 1,000,000 of these tiny critters. As a bonus, dust mite droppings are the primary cause for asthma and year round allergies. Not to worry though. Dust mites thrive in places like carpets, furniture, mattresses and pillows. You don't have any of those things in your house, do you?

GIANTMICROBES - HEAD LICE

Although head lice aren't particular about environmental conditions beyond their natural surroundings, they have still managed to give uncleanliness a bad name. Is that even possible??? These little buggers are highly contagious, wingless parasitic insects that live among human hairs and feed on tiny amounts of blood drawn from the scalp. Close quarters, bodily contact, and sharing of personal items allow the little creeps to spread. Lice bites are itchy and can cause red bumps or sores from scratching. This GIANTmicrobe louse is very easy to locate, making for equally easy eradication. His smaller brethren however...well let's just say it's time to whip out your fine tooth comb.

GIANTMICROBES – SCABIES MANGE

This giant stuffed replica of Sarcoptes scabiei is far less active than the actual eight-legged cousin of the spider. Primarily affecting humans and canines, scabies is caused when the female Sarcoptes mite burrows under the skin, lays her eggs, then dies. This irritates the victim who then tends to scratch or bite at themselves which in turn causes hair loss, skin damage, and infection. Regardless of how well Sarcoptes scabiei may promote itself, it actually is neither man's nor dog's best friend!
