Chikungunya virus cross stitch, completed in 3" round natural wood embroidery hoop ---The Story--- GERMS! They're everywhere. You can't avoid them, not entirely -- so why not incorporate them into your decor? If you're into science, or just germs, or cleanliness, or if you're a hypochondriac, you might like to see your interests/worst fears immortalized in stitchwork. Luckily, now you can. This listing is for one chikungunya virus microbe, requested by a researcher in the field. +Chikungunya is transmitted by mosquitoes, and common symptoms are fever and joint pain. It's not usually fatal, but the symptoms can be severe, and the joint pain may last for months. Chikungunya has been experienced by people in many parts of the world, but the first cases in the Americas were found recently (in 2013) in the Caribbean, and the CDC has created fact sheets to hang in medical facilities in case the virus spreads. There isn't a vaccine for chikungunya, and like dengue fever and Zika virus, the best way to prevent transmission is to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes.+ ---The Deets--- This listing is for just what you see in the first three pictures: one completed dark orange, yellow and lime green microbe with the common name stitched in black at the bottom of a 3" natural wood embroidery hoop. This microbe is part of a series of microbe and germ cross stitches that will feature a variety of brightly-colored microscopic viruses/bacteria/etc, each stitched on white Aida cloth and framed in 3" natural wood hoop frames. Find more in the Microbes and Germs section of my shop (linked below), where the other pictured microbes are also available. The back of each germ or microbe will be protected by loose felt that clings to the back; the felt will not be glued to the hoop, in order to allow for easier cleaning and re-stretching, should that become necessary. *CUSTOMIZE: If you would like three or more microbes, look for special listings in the Microbes section of my shop, or convo me to request a special order. I love custom orders; let me know if you're looking for a microbe you don't see here, and I'll stitch it for you! *SHIP: This stitch will be made to order and sent via USPS first class (with delivery confirmation) or international first class mail within about a week of your order, usually sooner, unless I convo you otherwise or a shipping delay is noted in my policies, shop banner or shop announcement (below the banner). It will ship as pictured to anywhere in the world, and excess s&h charges will be refunded. Contact me if you feel that you should receive a shipping refund and I haven't sent it yet -- but please also be aware that shipping rates have gone up in recent years, and the shipping cost might be higher than you'd previously experienced! :) Please double-check your shipping address before you check out. If you need me to change it after you have checked out, I can often do that, but I don't guarantee it, and refunds are not available for items sent to the wrong address by your error. *GIFT WRAP: Let me know if you are giving this microbe as a gift, and I'll wrap it up in plain paper and include a little notecard for your "to" and "from" -- or tell me if you'd like me to send it directly to the recipient and what message you'd like to include, and I'll write it out for you before I pop it in the mail. ---The Links--- Want to stitch it yourself? Get the pattern along with 9 others for just a few bucks, here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/285861267/cross-stitch-pattern-common-microbes-set Or have me send you a kit with all the materials you'll need to stitch it: https://www.etsy.com/listing/162406793/cross-stitch-kit-any-one-microbe-cross Or get 100 patterns, though NOT including this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/220493445/cross-stitch-patterns-100-microbes-in-10 Microbes and Germs shop section: http://www.etsy.com/shop/aliciawatkins?section_id=11480156 3 Microbes, to create your own instant collection: https://www.etsy.com/listing/101075677/3-microbes-cross-stitch-set-instant Herpes: https://www.etsy.com/listing/102301216/herpes-microbe-germ-cross-stitch-microbe Aspergillus fumigatus, a mold: https://www.etsy.com/listing/103726741/cross-stitch-microbe-aspergillus E.

Please do not copy or distribute without permission, and please do not pin images without permission. (Convo me!) The patterns are available for less than $1 each in sets of ten! :) +I am no kind of medical expert, and anything I know about the microbes in this series of stitches or that I appear to know, I learned from the internet. : ) NO PART of my listings or any other ramblings should be construed as ANY KIND of medical advice, because it's not. My only relevant expertise is in cross stitching!
