Need a gift for the microbiologist in the family?

This site had me totally cracking up. They're kinda cute but in an eerie kinda way. I guess it would be the perfect gift for that hard-to-shop-for microbiologist in the family. I mean I certainly wouldn't want to be buying these things for kids, no matter how cute they are.

My favorites are:

Shigella aka Stomachache

Epstein-Barr Virus aka The Kissing Disease

Trichophyton montagrophytes aka Athlete's Foot

Helicobacter pylori aka Stomach Ulcers
