Squeeze a cold, starve a fever.

Someone out there with a warped imagination has come up with the idea of making plushie versions of germs. Above, you see the Common Cold. There’s also Sleeping Sickness, the Flu, and Dust Mites, among others.

Something to give to kids you want to have grow up to be doctors, I suppose. Or a guilt-free way to give someone a serious disease.

My favorite? Probably Steptococcus pyogenes.
