GIANTmicrobes Mad Cow Plush – Learn About The Brain, Health, and This Neurological Disease, Unique Gift for Scientists, Friends, Family, Educators, Students and Public Health Experts

These are durable little critters that provide great shock value. A germ-a-phobe friend of mine laughed and laughed upon receiving several of these from me. They seem really well made and the tag included with each one is great. The tags tend to make the reader more conscious of the disease, saying things like "once in your food, this cannot be cooked out", which makes them great for gag gifts. Also, educationally, these would probably be great too, as the tags describe at length what each disease is, how it is constructed, and what it does. They seem factual, yet humorous.

I ordered 18 various Giant Microbes. I took all 18 in a large bag to a party I attended. Everyone pulled one from the bag. And that was all she wrote. People talked ALL night about my Giant Microbes. Some even claimed they had certain problems. Many laughed, cried, and fussed about diseases they thought they knew. The Microbes I explained have explanations along with a small picture of the actual microbe attached. What a great night that was. I will always be remembered for my Giant Microbes. Thanx Amazon!

I did this for a steal-a-gift for Christmas. I think it was a bit too expensive for what you get; it's not very large and is basically a rod with a cow pattern. It was funny, but the price is a bit excessive.

The item looks a little different in reality from the product photo.* It's more cylindrical in reality (skinnier).* the black and white pattern will differ from the photoAlso it was smaller than expected (runs about 5 inches).Still, an adorable microbe.

Very cute, but a lot smaller than I thought it would be

These silly furry creations are fun for illustrating and talking about different diseases. It helps especially when talking to younger kids, who can get up close and personal with these friendly versions of bad bacterias and viruses.

It's little, maybe smaller than you expect, but absolutely the cutest thing you ever saw. I got a couple of these Giant Microbes and have found them addictive. The more you see, the more you want. They are quality produced and incredibly cute.

The cow was in great shape when received. It does have it's own unique pattern as described. One feature not shown is that it has one row of legs. My son is very happy with it.
