Soup's on! At least that's what the flesh-eating disease hears after it literally gets under your skin. Caused by manic strains of the same bacteria that cause strep throat, Streptococcus pyogenes spreads so rapidly that it can consume an inch of flesh per hour. The process is extremely painful and if not treated quickly with antibiotics and removal of infected areas, will result in morality rates as high as 73%. So, if you get a skin injury - even as small as a pinprick - that hurts
way too much accompanied by flu-like symptoms and purplish blisters, you just might be on the menu!
Each GIANTmicrobe comes with a picture and information about the real microbe it represents. Great as a fun gift, GIANTmicrobes also make outstanding visual educational tools.
GIANTmicrobes - Flesh-eating Disease measures approximately 5 1/2 inches long and is about 3 1/2 inches around.
