Today we are doing a project in graphics. The idea is that you have to create a poster that makes someone start or stop something near instantaneouly. I have a poster with a mysterious flap on it. Curiousity compelling, it is designed so that you will look under the flap. My friend is making a poster to make you freaked out about HCV. Apparently it can live on surfaces for up to a month! (gross) and it has no vaccine or cure! AHHH!!!

So, I was thinking of her and I come across this lovely site called GIANTmicrobes where you can buy beanie babie sized plushie models of real diseases! One of their 'awareness' plushies is a cute HCV microbe. I think it would make a great gift.

I own yeast and, though not a microbe per se, bed bug.

I like how their plushie of HCV is yellow because it's in the family Flaviviridae (flavus - Lat. "yellow")!
