Athlete's Foot
Fumbled the pass? Let the goal through? No sweat! Our happy cheerleader is sure to make you smile. Trichophyton mentagrophytes is a cosmopolitan fungus that requires keratin for growth and can cause superficial infections of the skin, hair and nails, which may either be attracted to humans especially, as a source of food or prefer lower animals to humans as a source of food in nature. The principal reservoirs of the zoophilic varieties in nature are certain small mammals, such as rodents, hedgehogs, and rabbits, however, many other animal species may also be infected.
Children, parents and educators will enjoy using these educational plush toys to teach about hygiene, disease and the human body. Each microbe comes with a description of the disease it causes or function it performs. Surface washable, air dry.
