GIANT MICROBES Spanish Flu Plush Toy Original Soft Body Educational Gift 10cm

There are many things we bring to mind, when we bring to mind Spain; lovely food, long summer holidays and glorious weather…and also, one of the crucial deadliest disease outbreaks in human history! This Spanish Flu Plush from Giant Microbes may look adorable, but don’t let appearances deceive; this particularly virulent Flu outbreak struck right through the latters years of WW1 (because timing is everything), and is estimated to have killed between 50 – 100 million people, over 5% of the world’s population! In reality, this disease used to be so disastrous that many countries hid news of it’s true affect from the soldiers on the frontline. Because Spain remained neutral in the conflict, this led to the image that Spain itself used to be exceptionally afflicted, thus leading to the name ‘Spanish Flu’. And now, thanks to Giant Microbes, you’ll enjoy this apocalyptic ailment in your own home! These plushes have a scientifically accurate design, and even come with an array of facts about their specific disease, and are the easiest gift for scientists, teachers, students, or any person with a healthy sense of humour!
