Shigella dysenteriae (Stomach Ache) Giant Microbe #GM0730

|
Shigella dysenteriae (Stomach Ache) are bacteria that cause severe stomach aches, and account for a significant percentage of the cases of diarrhea worldwide. Shigella and dysentery can be extremely contagious, so it only takes a few bad bugs to cause some nasty cramps and well, it's spelled a lot the same. Avoidance is the best strategy, washing hands the best approach.  Giant Microbes¨ are an awareably great way to introduce serious public health issues to young (and young at heart), tackling tough subjects with a bit of twinkle. They may skew the approach a little, but not the message: that awareness is important, no matter what age the awaree! These fuzzy little critters go a long way to break down barriers and make the subject matter less threatening. AndÉTHEY ARE REALLY FUN! Note: Each 5 Ð 7 inch doll is made of surface washable polyester, accompanied by both image and information on the colorful tags. Great educational and awareness opportunities for parents, educators, you and yours. |
