Giant Microbes, Bad Breath
SKU: 17642
|
Overview
Many people believe that bad breath, or halitosis, is caused by gas rising up from the stomach -- particularly after eating onions or spicy foods. In fact, most cases are caused by microbes such as Porphyromonas gingivalis!
Some of the three or four hundred types of harmless microbes that call the mouth home produce "volatile sulfur compounds." These compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide -- which smells like rotting eggs -- give bad breath its characteristic odor.
GIANTmicrobes® are stuffed animals that look like tiny microbes — only a million times actual size! They're humorous, educational, and fun! Each GIANTmicrobes® comes with an image and information about the real microbe it represents. They make great learning tools, as well as amusing gifts for anyone with a sense of humor. Collect them all!
