What the Giant Microbes is all about...
What would the common cold virus look like if we magnified it a million times?? A lot cuter than you'd think!
Giant Microbes (just like their microscopic counterparts) are taking the world by storm. They've escaped from under the microscope and climbed out of their Petri dishes to introduce themselves, so we can get to know them and yes, perhaps even love them.
 Throw away your cuddly teddy bears and fluffy stuffed puppies – wouldn't you rather hug Staphylococcus Aureus? Every Giant Microbe comes complete with a bio on its biology, explaining its features and functions!
Meet some of the most important members of your body – the Brain Cell (Neuron), White Blood Cell and Red Blood Cell. And finally meet some of the villainous viruses that are just waiting to meet you – there's the Common Cold, The Flu, Kissing Disease (or Epstein-Barr Virus) and MRSA.
 Giant Microbes are a fantastic way to teach children (and adults) more about their body, life and the universe! They're also just so gosh-darn huggable and perfect for the person in your life who's just that little bit left of centre (in other words, everyone!).
Why not donate them to a school! Teach your nieces and nephews something in a fun way! They're the perfect graduation gift for your resident med student or science geek.
Giant Microbes - they are seriously catching! The only symptom is a smile you just can't wipe off your face and the only cure is to order yours now!
