TB Necktie #1401 Red/Blue
|
|
Based on the Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogen, this necktie pattern is faithful to the slide, right down to the 'red snappers. ' It probably tops the Awareables 'best-seller' list. TB, an age-old bacterial pathogen transmitted by airborne droplets, remains the greatest infectious killer in the history of man. It has re-emerged to pose a serious global threat, causing more than 2 million deaths each year, primarily in developing countries. Its multi-drug resistant (MDRTB) form is particularly dangerous and growing more wide-spread where crowded conditions and non-compliance to strict drug regimens are common. "Learning Note" and source credentials on reverse side of every tie. Be creative in your own fight against disease and take pride in knowing that a portion of all sale proceeds goes to research and education. |
