The Ebola toy, which looks like a curly brown worm with a cat’s eye, is an exact replica of a microscopic image of the virus.
Laura Sullivan, the vice president of marketing at Giant Microbes, told the Star the Ebola toy was in hot demand.
It offers more than 100 plush microbe toys for sale, ranging in everything from HIV and herpes to breast cancer or the common cold.
Every soft toy comes packaged with information to encourage education about the diseases.
The giant plush microbe toys have been around for a while. You can get them through ThinkGeek, which was where I bought the giant plush flu virus as a gag gift several years ago.
They do have some very cute items in their catalog, especially the plush Mad Cow.
For the holidays this year, I prefer the “Breaking Bad” Meth addict action figure.
Less icky, just as much in bad taste.
Right you are, Midget…and the Breaking Bad action figure comes with an extra set of teeth.
