GIANT MICROBES
LEISHMANIA (Leishmania tropica)

LIFE'S A BEACH, AND THEN YOU FRY!
(Or to be more honest about it...)
LIFE'S A BEACH, BUT WATCH OUT FOR THE FLIES!!!

If you've spent time on a beach in New Jersey (or most ANYWHERE along the east coast), you have probably encountered the dreaded Green Head Fly, the semi-Official State Bird of New Jersey. These blood-suckers will wrestle you for ownership of your own arm! Fortunately they are LARGE and slow, so easy to swat, but make sure you don't miss...their bites HURT and they WILL come back for seconds (AND MORE!), if you let them!!!  Tropical Sandflies are smaller and faster, and while their bites can also cause severe itching, the real concern is that they can transmit the Leishmania parasite, causing your beach day to go from wonderful to bad to MUCH WORSE, if not caught and treated early.  LEARN THE SYMPTOMS!!!!!

All new materials ONLY

Stuffed with Polyester Fibers

Approximately 6 1/2" long (Its flagella extends an additional 7 1/2"), 1 1/2" wide (body), and 2" tall

Each Giant Microbes LEISHMANIA tag contains a microscopic image of the actual parasite
as well as educational (and DISTURBING!) information inside.

For anyone with a healthy sense of humor...and who remembers to wear sun tan lotion
AND bug spray while relaxing on the sand!

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, feel free to write and ask about our prices and availability.  Yes, we usually have plenty!

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 $23.95 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, but are responsible for all additional fees for postage, customs, tariffs, and/or other import charges.  Any questions?  Contact me.
