Really? I found it (because I remembered it from July) by searching for "CDC" but a search for the url seems to bring it up too. Strange.

protocool; "Somehow this isn't very funny, is it?" No it's not funny but it is fun. When I was in grade 4,5 or 6 I would have loved these cards. Back before the teachers sucked all the fun out of science.

Nobody's getting their hands on my limited-edition Jumpy Monkey Pox card. So stop asking.

Cards? Let's give the little tykes some real pathogen samples. They can study them under their microscopes and test various household chemicals on them to find new antiseptics.

As a companion gift, get your special someone a stuffed black death microbe, or just athlete's foot, if you're feeling tame..

I'm kind of bummed there's no plush toy for my favorite infectious disease, Guinea worm disease.
