Give Your Love A Disease
It strikes us as extraordinary that anyone would want to buy a disease. But then a lot of things strike us as extraordinary - fish can fart, slugs have four noses and Robert Winston's moustache is completely real. Make something fluffy and stick big baby eyes on it, however, and everyone wants it - even ebola. This year's big geek gift are giant microbes.

| Kissing disease: better known in some parts as glandular fever, it's a pretty little virus that can be spread by too much tonsil hockey. Needless to say, sadly that's not how I got it. | Giardia: a dose of these lovely little fellows will cause serious explosions out of both ends. And it can last for months if not properly treated. One of the few reasons to avoid India. | |

| Ebola: one of the daddies of death - an ebola infection can wipe you out in a matter of days via a violent hemorrhagic fever. What a little cutey. |
Ulcer: If you thought ulcers were caused by stress, think again. The tiny dread-locked bacterium, Helicobacter is implicated in over 90% of ulcers.
