Manufacturers are hoping their range of cuddly toy versions of microbes including gonorrhea and syphilis will be a hit for Christmas.

US company Giant Microbes has turned microscopic images of viruses and bugs, which also include malaria and mad cow disease, into soft toys.

Other viruses to cuddle up to include salmonella, ebola, acne, rabies, black death and the good old influenza virus, reports Metro.

Each 5-to-7 inch doll is accompanied by an image of the real microbe it represents, as well as information about the microbe.

They were intended as learning tools for children but have proved popular with adults looking for amusing gifts for partners and friends.

The sales blurb about the Ebola toy says: "Since its discovery in 1976 Ebola has become the T Rex of microbes. Share the love."

And, of the algae toy, it says: "Anyone for a pool party? Theses guys are always ready to show up. Learn who you're swimming with before you dive in."

The toys are on sale from £4 for one or £20 for a set.

Sounds like a sperm toy.

These are so old ... My boss got me the common cold - we were waiting for him to give Syphilis to someone, but he figured it was against HR policy.

Ew!

This is even worse than the time when I was about eight years old and mom came home with what she said was an extra special present for me.

I was thinking mom had brought me a puppy or something.
As it turns out, the "cool gift" was one of those small plastic human skeletons teacher's use in a Science class.

The present of more homework- Yipee! Not! :lol

Oh, well, I had planned on deleting it because it was one of those "too easy" jabs, but you've ruined that for me.

And if by liked, you meant "found it hilarious," then yes, I liked it.

This is just going to turn children into OCD germophobes.
