sounds crazy, but I'm obsessed with researching deadly viruses & Ebola happens to be my 'favorite'. I was planning on getting all my friends & family viruses for X-mas...but couldn't help to buy this for my friend's new baby. The description could've been a bit more graphic...but overall I'd rate it to be one of the best kitschy gifts you can find.

We love these products. Ebola is a pretty serious disease, but the disease summary on the information tag is gentle and kid-friendly. This one is a pretty good buy - he's big and sturdy for the price and all of these products are soft, cute, and highly educational.

Got it for my desk. As an individual involved in Ebola research, I find the toy to be a rather amusing desk display alongside my other Giant Microbes. A great educational tool as well.

For years I have wanted to give all my friends and loved ones an infectious disease for Christmas. This year I was able to do just that thanks to this great plush toy.

I purchased the Giant Microbe Ebola Virus to include in a presentation on Ebola in a college Microbiology class. We fashioned a giant "microscope lens" out of cardboard, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap, and put our little friend inside and fastened it to our presentation board. The instructor loved it, as did the entire class. The accompanying card actually had a surprisingly accurate and detailed little synopsis of the virus and its history! It was extremely helpful, then my kids had a great time playing with it once the project was done. I actually joked around in my presentation that if the professor gave us an A, we'd let him take it home to HIS kids. He laughed, but I did get an A. Was it because of the Giant Microbe? Maybe... ;)
