What to give the man who has everything
STUCK FOR A CHRISTMAS GIFT for that special person? Worry no more, for a US firm has come up with the answer - cuddly giant microbes. Each six inch bug comes with an image of the real thing, together with fascinating facts about the disease.
The rather infectious soft toys are available in a wide range of embarrassing, uncomfortable and fatal varieties including gonorrhoea, syphilis, mad cow disease and malaria.
Other cuddly viruses include salmonella, ebola, acne, rabies, black death and flu. The company's 'professional' range includes HIV and hepatitis, while lesser maladies include bad breath, athlete's foot and pimples.

The description of the Ebola toy says: "Since its discovery in 1976 Ebola has become the T Rex of microbes. Share the love."
The sickening toys are on sale from a microscopic £4. µ

Self explanatory.
I may buy a few of these. I'm a nurse at a local hospital. I can imagine the day I walk into work, look all sad and when someone asks me what's wrong state: "I just found out I got syphilis" as I pull one of these critters out of my pocket...

Might be hilarious to see the look on my co-worker's faces...at least until the rumurs start lol.
