Giant MicrobesCatch them while you can
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

These days everyone's going on about friendly bacteria. Unfortunately, unless you've got bionic eyes or a pair of super-microscope glasses, you can't see the little buggers. A shame, as brainy biology grads reckon these invisible-to-the-eye micro organisms are omnipresent. In fact, there are probably several million swarming around your head right now. Urgh!
Perhaps it's this new wave of infectious disease fascination that prompted the good people at Plush to create a range of cute and cuddly critters modeled on a whole host of disease-causing germs and viruses.
Plush Microbes have got to be the most innovative soft toys we've seen in ages because they look just like the nasty little critters on which they are based. Sort of. (Well they are a million times bigger, a few thousand times cuter, brightly colored and furry). You can judge for yourself as each cutesy Microbe comes complete with a photo of its real-life counterpart, along with fascinating information about the critter in question.  Plush Microbes make great gifts for anyone who's feeling under the weather, especially if you match the microbe to the malady. We're currently stocking Stomach Ache (Shigella), Sore Throat (Streptococcus), Cough (B. Pertussis), The Flu (Orthomyoxvirus), Bad Breath (Porphyromonas Gingivalis), Common Cold (Rhinovirus) and Kissing Disease (Epstein-Barr). Actually, looking at the last two Microbes, maybe that's not such a good idea.  
'Urgh' and 'aah' in equal measure, Microbes are infectiously cute and great reminders of the invisible universe around us. So catch one soon before the inevitable Microbe epidemic totally ravages our stock. Now if you'll excuse us, we're off to wash our hands. Twice.

Just bought one of the awesome little microbes. . Common cold, and cant wait to give it to my sister for her birthday. . She's currently studying biology at Uni. Though I'm quite reluctant to give it to her. . It's just sooo cute =D. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bought 3 of the little blighters 2 weeks ago now and forget to review one. Gave one to my sister (Kissing Disease) one to my dog (Cough) and one for me, Bad breath! It suits me because I get it a lot! Kelly (my sister who is 11, ) thinks it's great and my dog, Mr. Fluff, thinks Cough is great! I'll be gettin' more! thanks. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Will be the perfect gift for someone studying microbiology/virology. I had to buy one since I start the degree this year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Me AGAIN!
So Anyways... I ended up buying the bad breath for my daughter too, so now she has got that to her collection. Including my husbands common cold. And I have now just placed an order for my son - the cough!
Keep an eye out for the pic, which is coming soon... these things are cool! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
MY husband got the sore throat for me, and it is sooooooo cute!
Thing is, my 4 year old daughter wants 'him' and has also named him Plum!
Guess it's not mine anymore, is there any way firebox can send me a free one? Thought not - Doh! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bought Soar Throat & Bad Breath for my mum. She said I could have one, so I chose Bad Breath. He stinks! please, clean your teeth! Bad Breath: NO! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
My Sore Throat arrived the other day, and I think its absalotelybfdsghk (can't spell) pointless! We just sat there, facing each other, but then I grabed it and started hugging it to death (dont know why, guess I just felt sorry for that diseased little thing). I think microbes are completely and utter pointless things, but you cant help feeling sorry for the little fellas, can you? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I absolutely love these!! So nerdy and yet insanely cute! Got a Stomach Ache for my birthday last year and I cant wait to find out what I'm gunna catch this year.... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
These are amazing! I bought bad breath for my partner, who incidently always has bad breath. They're just the right price for a small gift for someone. Don't want to ruin the coolness of them, but technically, they're slightly educational as well! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I wish I could have gotten the Common Cold. Unfortunately, I got something a little more serious, the Cough (B. Pertussis). All well, at least it's cute! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
