I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.
Giant Microbes makes a line of stuffed dolls that are representations of various microbes. This includes things like the Common Cold, Flu, Athlete’s Foot, and Ebola. Then there’s the line of venereal diseases. So yes, you can give someone you care very little about Herpes, Syphillis, or the Clap for Christmas.

I bought Mono for my wife’s birthday one year. She was weirded out.

Thanks for the link back! I, honestly, think that these things are going to be a big hit. What will be really fun is when people start “re-gifting” the venereal diseases they got for Christmas. Sucks to have a birthday in January!
Wonderful idea to tell you children about the danger of these Giant Microbes
Nice toys, but they are not frightful. Children don`t believe in their danger
