We love the artistic license taken with Chicken Pox, rendering it very chicken-like with it's combination comb/waddle (look it up, city folk) and...um, "intent" eyes. Cute as can be, even in the face of a new vaccine giving it a run for it's money.

Each GIANTmicrobes plush toy comes with a tag that shows your new friend in it's natural habitat (many times smaller, of course), as well as some information and history. These are great for a lot of occasions - medical students, germaphobes, and lovers of the peculiar are all good candidates for a GIANTmicrobe.

Also makes a great cautionary toy. As in, "I've noticed you eating a lot of undercooked meat. Enjoy your new e.coli".
