Fun with Protozoa

Ever had giardia lamblia? If you have, you know just how much fun it can be. When a friend and I contracted it after a trip to Costa Rica, I came up with the following design and transferred it to T-shirts to celebrate our altered state. Feel free to lift it for your own giardia lamblia celebration. Source for the female in this design is a vintage photo circa 1950 dug out of a box at the old downtown YWCA in Oakland and heavily doctored. The creature she is playing with is a microscopic view of what giardia lamblia actually looks like.
