Haha! I thought I was just strange! I actually got one for my husband for his birthday last October. He thought it was pretty funny too (he's a science geek so he knew what it was). The only bad thing was when he thought it was funny to tell everyone that I gave him herpes for his birthday!

That's going to the "post a link" on my facebook page. ^_^
But there's a "good bacterial replacement pill" sold in New Zealand and the drug reps try to peddle it in hospitals by handing out plushie bugs.

On new yrs eve, in my family we give each other joke presents.
This year, i gave everyone in my family a different one! hah
Dad got mad cow disease
mom got the west nile vius (due to an obsession with following it in the news heh)
my brother got the ebola virus (and then later had it wrapped around his wrist and fell asleep..so I have a photo of my 27yr old brother curled up on the couch cuddling with the ebola virus!)
My sister got the plague heh
my Uncle got Malaria (oddly enough, because he actually HAS malaria)
and his wife got Lyme disease =)
Made for a great joke present for all! heh and was fun when ppl started throwing em across the room trying to avoid "getting" the virus' heh
