Once again, the free schwag that the medical office Megan works in caught my attention.  This time, it was a delayed reaction since I had no idea what it was at first.  She brought home a cute, cuddly stuffed animal for Ally from the pediatric office where she is serving her clinical time for grad school this semester.  The animal appeared to be a crab/lobster/crustacean of some sort.  In fact, at the time, I didn’t even know the animals were a promotional giveaway, as I didn’t see the tag on back.  Look at the photos below and then see my answer below that.

Those cute, doe-eyed animals are actually LICE!!!  Sure, they’re pink and not white, and they’re about 5,000 times their actual size, but when Megan told me what I was holding in my hand, I actually dropped it as though it were real lice.  These animals are a promotional item for the product Ovide, which treats head lice.  I should have known by the sinister eyebrows that these animals served an evil purpose.  Blechhh.
