GIANT MICROBES-SMALLPOX-Stuffed Plush Variola Virus Disease Biology Science NEW!

Description: GIANT MICROBESSMALLPOX (Variola Virus) SMALLPOX has been a Menace II Society dating back to some of the earliest societies, and has altered human history along the way by killing MILLIONS. The Aztec empire was devastated after SMALLPOX was introduced by one of Cortes's soldiers, and the arrival of Europeans to North America was similarly disastrous to that native population. As recently as 1967, 15 million cases occurred each year. The first evidence of any sort of inoculation dates back to over 1000 years ago, in China. In spite of the Cold War, international cooperation with science and medical researchers found the U.S. and U.S.S.R. leading efforts at worldwide eradication, and by May of 1980, SMALLPOX was declared dead and gone. Today, the only remaining samples are kept frozen for research purposes by 2 labs, one in the U.S. and the other in Russia. We can all sleep better knowing that these governments are watching out for us and are known to always Do The Right Thing. Sigh! All new materials ONLY Stuffed with Polyester Fibers Approximately 6" tall, 4" wide, and 2" thick Each Giant Microbes tag contains a photo of the actual microbe, taken through a microscope,as well as educational, interesting, and horrific information inside. Giant Microbes--a million times actual size!For anyone with a healthy sense of humor...but NOT SMALLPOX! NEVER AGAIN...hopefully... A NOTE ABOUT GIANT MICROBES: We carry almost the complete line of Giant Microbes products (including many retired designs),and have since the company first began. It is going to take a while for us to get them all up and listed on here but we ARE working on it. In the meantime...if you need any that we haven't listed on here yet, if you want other ones for the "SPECIAL DEAL" below, or just a few for our regular multi-item savings (but can't find them yet), feel free to write and ask about our prices and availability. Yes, we usually have plenty! SPECIAL SALE!!! (Actually, our everyday multi-item sale price!) Whenever you purchase ANY 6 Regular or XL size Giant Microbes products (among others) you can get a 7th one FREE...including postage! The rules are easy to follow. After deciding on and paying for the first 6, just send us a note (through ebay) with which one you prefer as your gift. The first 6 need to be paid for at the same time or close enough (like within the hour, not spread out over a few days...we ship daily), with all being mailed to the same address so they can all be packed together in the same mailer. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS MUST USE THE SHOPPING CART FEATURE AND MAKE A SINGLE PAYMENT OR WE CAN'T HONOR THIS OFFER!!! The free one MUST be priced equal to or less than the lowest price one paid for. You can mix and match quantities from any of our listings that carry this offer (7 of one style or all different...doesn't matter to us!). Any listings selling pairs, sets, or multiple items already, count as single purchases. If you pay for the 7th one, you can still get ANOTHER one for free, but we will NOT send a refund for the 7th! Once shipped, you will STILL be entitled to our usual multi-item postage refund, based on the weight of the package and the cost to mail it. Please write with any questions BEFORE you purchase, especially if you want one (or more) which we haven't listed yet. Simple enough? IMPORTANT: When these are sent to us from Giant Microbes, depending on the quantity of our order, sometimes they are individually bagged and sometimes they are bulk bagged but NOT individually. When we mail yours out, each WILL be safely wrapped inside either a factory-sealed bag or a new plastic shopping bag to help protect it from the elements as it travels to you. As these are filled with polyester fibers, it can and will probably be packed tightly for shipping so if it appears a little "squished" when it arrives, it may just need to be shaken and "fluffed" upon removal from its mailing box. PLEASE, for the safety of your new friend, do NOT cut or puncture the box with any sharp objects! These are original, fully licensed designs that I am selling for $17.95 each which includes free shipping to anywhere in the U.S. You can combine this with other items that I am selling to receive a refund for each additional item after the first, once shipped. This refund reflects my savings in postage fees by combining your orders and is based on the total weight of the items. International buyers are eligible for the multi-item discount (WHEN YOU USE THE SHOPPING CART FEATURE AND PAY FOR ALL OF YOUR ITEMS IN A SINGLE PAYMENT!) and receive free shipping to the Global Shipping Program Center in Kentucky, USA, but are responsible for all additional fees for postage, customs, tariffs, and/or other import charges.
