My co-worker Wendy gave me Chlamydia the other day to cheer me up…I’m STILL laughing.

Went to the website, and want to give everyone I know one of these microbes, especially ones like “Bad Breath”

I love these things!

My husband (friend at the time) got me the mono plush because I was so sick with mono. Although, the plush version is cute the real thing is awful. I don’t think I really ever got compltely over it to be honest. He also got me the flesh eating bacteria for some reason.

He got the flu plush so he can go around touching people with it giving them a “touch of the flu.”

We’re both computer techs (geeks) joke giving people viruses in plush form for fun.

ThinkGeek has been selling these for quite some time. Could never bring myself to, uhm… find disease calling bugs cuddly, though.

I have a cute little Polio on my bookshelf. They had a booth at Comic Con, so I bought a bunch for family and friends! I remember them selling out at the convention too…

I love the flesh-eating bacteria. It comes with a little knife and fork.

I got Ebola off the ground in the alley behind my apartment. The year before that I gave my boyfriend Syphilis.

Ajan, nope, no sounds.

My friend gave me a flesh eating bacteria last summer. I keep it on my computer desk, to laugh at and to throw to unsuspecting guests. I love their reactions when I tell them what it is.

My university sells these in the student store; I myself am the proud owner of a fat cell. I got it mostly so I could throw it at people and yell, “YOU GOT FAT!”

I myself sleep with Ebola every night.

I also owe the plague and the common cold. It’s a great treat around winter to leave it places and go ‘OH GOD! COLD GERMS!’

I’d really love to get my hands on a flesh eating ‘lil bugger, however
