Give Syphilis on Christmas Day

December 1 2007

treponema pallidum

Christmas is just around the corner. Still haven’t a clue on what to give your love one? I have a gift idea! Why not give Syphilis… Or how about Gonorrhea? Or Kissing Disease maybe?

I know what you’re thinking… ew. But before your eyes pop out of their sockets and you start cussing me for suggesting this, I’m talking about the 6-inch stuffed toy that GIANTmicrobes are selling! This is probably the only variety of Syphilis or Gonorrhea or whatever microbe that anyone would welcome getting as a gift.

Meet the pox a.k.a. syphilis
