Now you can get your very own swine flu stuffed toy.*

Everyone's (maybe) going to be carrying it this fall!

*Other best-sellers include: the common cold, E. coli, mononucleosis, ulcer, black death, and ebola.

Thanks, Slog tipper emma's bee!

A great place to find these is in the South Campus Conference Center just south of the Hospital wing H at the UW Medical Center. They make great gifts ... and they replicate ...

My sister's studying to be a nurse. I bought her about 20 of these last Christmas, including ebola, west Nile, rabies and chlaymidia. She loved them all.

What a conincidence! I gave your sister chlaymidia, too.

Not really but I couldn't let that straight line hang.

I gave the fuzzy little E. coli to my Dad for Christmas a few years ago. It has adorable little flagellae and big dark eyes... it made it into all the Christmas photos that year.
