Ghost of a flea

Great as a training aid for public health workers, doctors, medical responders, etc. You should have seen the more cryptic but still graphic slides my step father had that I looked through as a child. As an infectious diseases MD at one of the more major facilities here in Atlanta (and as a teaching physician) he had some choice slides. Relatively gross lesions that helped me decide not to be a physician.

Cool! I dig on diseases, yo! ;-)

The training angle does make sense of them. It was the dead zebra that I found off-putting...

And so "Clap for the Wolfman" turns out to be prophecy?

Just consider these cards' value to would-be hypocondriacs!! Priceless.

Also, they could serve as a public health indicator of how fast one should run when encountering any of the visible signs whilst walking down the boulevard.
