amsplendor: etsy: Alicia Watkins’ embroidered microbes. PRIONS ARE NOT MICROBES THAT BOTHERS ME. Thanks for the note – I’ve updated the mad cow cross stitch listing so that the part that refers to microbes says explicitly that a prion is not a microbe. I’ll do the same if I ever get around to finally stitching FFI. (Even my regular-type insomnia doesn’t give me enough time to get to *everything* I want to do…)Unfortunately, there’s no way to add the more all-encompassing word “pathogen” to my Etsy shop section, because shop section titles just aren’t allowed to be that long. I could change it completely, but I think “Microbes and Germs” is more immediately recognizable to most people than if I called the section “Pathogens and Cells” (for instance). That part’s just going to remain bothersome for now, I’m afraid.Perhaps you’ll feel better about the whole thing knowing the shop section used to be called (even more inaccurately) “Germs and Bugs,” and it had an Anopheles mosquito in it along with viruses and bacteria.
