Para(site)phernalia

I really liked an earlier post on the blog that talked about a website that sold cuddly stuffed microbes, so I decided to see if there was anything similar relating to the parasites we have recently been learning about in class.

And, what do you know, I came across a website called Zygote Games that sells parasite paraphernalia. There is a Leucochloridium mug (bottom right) and even a Toxoplasmosis mug (bottom left). I especially like the description of the Leucochloridium mug on the website: This snail is having a much worse day than you are in this image from Parasites Unleashed.

It's amazing what you can buy on the internet these days...

That is very cool. Kind of a niche market though.....
