Gonorrhea ("The Clap") Giant Microbe #GM0150

|
Gonorrhea ('The Clap') is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, especially among young adults, usually as a result of careless and casual behavior. It causes a number of uncomfortable symptoms, and can lead to serious pregnancy and fertility issues in women. Although it does respond to antibiotics, Gonorrhea is also showing increased resistance, one serious issue leading to another! Casualness really CAN be contagious!  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. |
