So, are you suggesting a new icon set should be designed?

Manhattan Microbes! Cute - like these.

MRSA is well known over here. The hospitals are having a mare of a time with it.

@ iconmaster - That one was great!

It's spreaded through the whole planet.

Yeah, hospital systems everywhere are having problems with it.

Darned medicine... the bugs just keep getting used to it! :)

ThinkGeek has a larger list of plush microbes.

Think Geek just resells the Giant Microbes. If you get them direct from Giant Microbes, you can get them all, and it's a bunch cheaper.
