You'd think a swine flu virus would have a hog's head? :pig:
An outfit called Neat-O-Rama offers a line of plush microbes such as
Herpes simplex virus!

Unlike his biological counterparts, this guy stays around all month long, rather than cycling through active and remission periods. Plus, they won’t leave you with painful, itchy and unsightly blisters.
This also just might be the only way you can give someone herpes while expecting them to ever talk to you again.
Nemmine the plush Lovecraft critters like
Cthulhu!

When my son was small I washed his stuffed animals quite often because I was told they are bacteria magnets...but this takes it to another level! :laugh:
Those Cthulhu toys are cute, AE... my favorite of all my son's plush toys( and one which I have kept for some odd reason ) was a plush cockroach hand puppet.
It's strange sometimes what we find attractive ( strange attractors? )
