Giantmicrobes - Chickenpox

Back in the day, almost everybody had the pleasure of contracting chickenpox (varicella zoster virus). The easily transmitted disease usually has mild symptoms for young children, so some people even threw"pox parties"to purposely spread the disease to all their kids. How sweet! An infected person will break out in very itchy skin lesions with new ones breaking out daily for up to a week. Fortunately, chickenpox is not the gift that keeps on giving as once a person has had the disease once, they almost never get it again.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.At over 1,000,000 times actual size, GIANTmicrobes - Chickenpox is about 3 1/2"wide and 6"in diameter.
Giantmicrobes - Pneumonia

Pneumonia must be ticked off about something. At least this stuffed representation appears to be. He's got a mean looking scowl on his fluffy face. Perhaps his menacing facade is due to the fact that he's over a million times larger than his lung infecting brothers. They must be too busy filling their victim's lungs full of fluid to hit the gym and work out to grow to this GIANTmicrobe's proportions. Priorities...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 - Pneumonia measures a grandiose 3 and a half inches around and stands 5 inches tall.
Giantmicrobes - Staph

Staph means"bunch of grapes"in Greek and that's pretty much what staphylococcus aureus looks like under a microscope. Typically found on the human body, staph is usually harmless. But if it manages to find an"in", it can really be a bad house guest in the body you call home. Once staph is on the wrong side of your skin-barrier, the bacteria can cause minor irritations like boils, rashes, and sties. What's worse is that if it decides to take a ride through your bloodstream, it can cause major ailments such as food poisoning, pneumonia, Toxic Shock Syndrome, and septicemia which causes acute inflammation throughout your entire body. Bummer!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 - Staph measures approximately 6"x 3".
