A new line of ties is sure to stir up great party conversation. Infectious Awareables has created a line of silk and cloth clothing that feature patterns of more than 15 different infectious diseases and bacteria, as seen under a microscope. Tie and underwear patterns include Gonorrhea, Herpes, Ebola, Tuberculosis, AIDS, Syphilis, Chlamydia, and Malaria. Its developer, Roger Freeman, a dentist and lecturer on infectious diseases, bought the line, which had problems selling to department stores. The ties are now popular in the scientific and biomedical communities. The Black Plague tie is sold out. Of the Malaria tie, Freeman says, "the artist may have been on something when he did that one."
