Infectious Awareables Neckties

Since 1997,Infectious Awareables has been creating unique, science-based products designed to promote awareness of important public health issues. Their mission is threefold: to generate interest, discussion - even excitemenr, to support the efforts of those involved in research and education. Each year, IA contributes a portion of its proceeds to organizations that are dedicated to research, education or treatment. On the reverse side of every tie you’ll find a “Learning Note” and scientific image source credits. A portion of the proceeds from every purchase goes toward research and education. Silk scarves are 11" x 48" Check the scarf page for more designs. Color choices may differ from the tie.

Anthrax Biohazard Bacteria Necktie Infectious Awareables 2007 $40.00 silk tie $35.00 bow tie $40.00 silk scarf	Patterned after the micrograph of the spore-forming Bacillus anthracis bacteria, and laced between biohazard warnings. Anthrax is a highly lethal disease capable of causing shock and death in 24 – 36 hours. An effective vaccine has limited the danger to its primary target, farm animals. However, due to its airborne mode of transmission, it looms as a significant biological warfare threat.	Biohazards Necktie Infectious Awareables 5400 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 XL silk tie self tie bow tie $35.00	Biohazards are organisms or organic substances that threaten human or animal health, including medical waste as well as microbial toxins capable of causing both disease and mortality. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) categorizes various diseases in levels of biohazard, Level 1 (e.g. E. coli) being minimum risk, Level 4 (Ebola) being extreme risk. The universal symbol is a precautionary warning – so if you see it on something, you can be sure it is not a good thing!
Antibodies Necktie Infectious Awareables 4601 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 XL silk tie $35.00 self tie bow tie $40.00 silk scarf	Antibodies are part of the human immune system. They are composed of Y-shaped proteins used by our bodies to identify offending stimuli called antigens (viruses, bacteria, parasites, toxins, transplanted organs, etc). Antibodies attempt to neutralize intruders by locking on and binding to them	Clostridium difficile Necktie Infectious Awareables 53004 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 XL silk tie $35.00 self tie bow tie	Clostridium difficile is a spore-forming bacillus currently increasing in prevalence and virulence, especially in hospital settings. It is capable of causing intestinal conditions ranging from mild diarrhea to fulminant, potentially fatal colitis. Testing is labor intensive and often inconclusive, and treatment can be problematic. Exposure to antibiotics can lead to what is known as CDAD (C. difficile - associated disease) – another instance of a cure causing as much harm as the disease! C. difficile is often transferred to patients via contaminated hands of health care personnel and remains a significant nosocomial issue.

Avian Flu Virus Necktie Infectious Awareables 4500 blue/black $40.00 silk tie $35.00 self tie bow tie $40.00 silk scarf	Avian Flu Virus Necktie Infectious Awareables 4501 black/red $40.00 silk tie	Avian Flu is the latest in a series of emerging infections which seem to be "flying" toward us with increasing regularity. On the heels of HIV, SARS, and West Nile fever, "bird" flu threatens outbreaks of pandemic proportion, depending on whether the virus becomes more adept at spreading from person-to-person. So far, the most serious species, H5N1 has had limited spread in this mode, and has not continued beyond one person. Where it has struck, however, it has caused fatalities in more than half of those infected. Original images courtesy of Cynthia Goldsmith, Jacqueline Katz and Sherif R. Zakei, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia.
Breast Cancer Necktie Infectious Awareables 3709 $40.00 silk tie	Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the cells of the breast in women and men. Worldwide, breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer after lung cancer (10.4% of all cancer incidence, both sexes counted)and the fifth most common cause of cancer death.	Dental Plaque Necktie Infectious Awareables 1504 $40.00 silk tie $40.00 silk scarf	Dental Plaque Plaque is actually a complex biofilm composed of several dozen strains of bacteria. This design features coccoid cells clinging along side the thin pellicle layer covering the tooth enamel, along with the rods and 'chetes that make up the culture within a culture. A portion of all proceeds of sales for Dental Plaque ties and scarves are shared with OSAP and the OSAP Foundation. OSAP, the Organization for Safety & Asepsis Procedures, serves as the dental community's prime resource for information about infection control and safety.
Dust Mites Necktie Infectious Awareables 2000 blue/black, olive/taupe $40.00 silk tie $44.00 XL silk tie	Living by the gazillions in mattresses, bedding, carpets and curtains, microscopic mites are often associated with severe asthmatic and allergic response. With over 18 million Americans suffering from asthma, and eradication of mite “activity” highly problematic, the impact of these creatures is significant.	Ebola Disease Necktie Infectious Awareables 1342 $40.00 silk tie $35.00 self tie bow tie	The Ebola virus is a vicious, “level 4” pathogen that can cause severe hemorrhaging and extremely high mortality. To date, human infection has been limited to bloodborne or fluid modes of transmission. Some strains, however, can be airborne, as in the outbreak at Ft. Detrick, Maryland in 1989. Fortunately, these strains thus far have been confined to animals. The natural host remains unknown.
Giardia Parasite Necktie Infectious Awareables 4400 gray/purple, chocolate/red $40.00 silk tie chocolate/red $35.00 self tie bow tie	Giardia lamblia is a one-celled parasite capable of causing severe abdominal symptoms when ingested, usually through contaminated food or water. It can also be transmitted to others via poor handwashing technique, particularly after changing diapers or using restroom facilities. The parasite has a characteristic long flagella and two prominent bodies, giving the appearance of “eyes.”
E. Coli I Bacteria Necktie Infectious Awareables 2100 tan/red, navy/grey $40.00 silk tie $44.00 XL silk tie $35.00 self tie bow tie	Esherichia coli is a common intestinal bacterium. Certain strains, however, can be highly pathogenic, and can lead to severe illness or fatality, especially in the young, elderly or immuno-compromised. E.coli is often spread via contaminated vegetables, undercooked and contaminated beef, unpasteurized milk and juice. Food workers must be especially careful to implement good hygiene habits. E. coli presents a serious challenge to food industry, homemaker and parent, alike.		E. Coli II Bacteria Necktie Infectious Awareables 2100 $40.00 silk tie $35.00 self tie bow tie
Foodborne Six Bacteria Necktie Infectious Awareables 4300 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 XL silk tie $40.00 silk scarf	Foodborne Six Bacteria Necktie Campylobacter, Salmonella, Listeria, Shigella, Norwalk, E coli	Campylobacter: considered the most common bacterial cause of foodborne illness. Primarily from poultry, estimated to cause over 2 million U.S. infections annually. Salmonella: estimated to cause 600 deaths annually, acquired mainly from beef, poultry, pork and eggs. Listeria: not as well-known as Sal and E., but usually more deadly, with infections leading to blood poisoning or meningitis. Mainly a problem with ready-to-eat foods Shigella: one of the most frequent causes of GI disease in people, nearly 500,000 cases annually in the U.S. Typically originates from food or water contaminated with human or animal waste. Passes easily between people – nursi Norwalk virus: arguably the most common viral cause of foodborne illness, gets most headlines when lurking in hotels and cruise ships. E. coli: a common, usually harmless intestinal bacteria, until it morphs into 0157:H7 producing a powerful and potentially lethal toxin. Most infections come from contaminated meat, especially beef, in the form of undercooked ground beef. The bacteria are often spread among the great “unwashed,” i.e. from poor handwashing or hygiene habits.
Gonorrhea Necktie Infectious Awareables 1041 gold, blue $40.00 silk tie self tie bow tie $35.00	This design is based on the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria, one of the oldest and most common of the STDs. Gonorrhea, often referred to as “GC,” is characterized by inflammation of the genitourinary tract, and can ultimately cause sterility, as well as serious complications in newborns.	Hantavirus Necktie Infectious Awareables 3399 $40.00 silk tie	Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a deadly disease from rodents. Humans can contract the disease when they come into contact with infected rodents or their urine and droppings. HPS was first recognized in 1993 and has since been identified throughout the United States. Although rare, HPS is potentially deadly. Rodent control in and around the home remains the primary strategy for preventing hantavirus infection.
Helictobacter pylori "Ulcers" Necktie Infectious Awareables 3000 black/red, tan/red $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie	Human immunodeficiency virus was first identified in the early 1980’s as the cause of a constellation of serious conditions, all of which contributed to a newly named complex called AIDS. Since that time, the virus has become pandemic, infecting and ultimately killing millions, primarily in under-developed world countries. Early and continuing reluctance to educate and promote awareness about HIV infection has contributed to the on-going tragedy surrounding the AIDS crisis.	Heart Health Necktie Infectious Awareables 5200 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $35.00 self tie bow tie	A well-conditioned heart requires healthy striated muscle served by an arterial system uncompromised by build up of lumen-reducing plaque (atherosclerosis). This exciting design graphically depicts all the above, featuring healthy muscle accented by a succession of arterial conditions, from clear to clogged. Clear is good; clogged is NOT! Heart disease is a leading cause of mortality and can be greatly mitigated by life style choices.
Hepatitis-B Virus Necktie Infectious Awareables 2300 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $35.00 self tie bow tie	Hepatitis-B virus is a dangerous viral pathogen that causes severe liver disease.

Human immunodeficiency virus was first identified in the early 1980’s as the cause of a constellation of serious conditions, all of which contributed to a newly named complex called AIDS. Since that time, the virus has become pandemic, infecting and ultimately killing millions, primarily in under-developed world countries. Early and continuing reluctance to educate and promote awareness about HIV infection has contributed to the on-going tragedy surrounding the AIDS crisis.
Immunization Flu Necktie Infectious Awareables 4900 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $35.00 self tie bow tie $40.00 silk scarf	Revived development of new vaccines and increased public awareness of the benefits of immunization offers the promise of preventing a public health catastrophe similar to the Pandemic Flu of 1918, which is graphically featured in this design. The subtle blue overlay of vaccination paraphernalia is a reminder that it doesn’t take much to provide protection for a wide range of very nasty conditions. Original images courtesy of Dr. Terrence Tumpey and Cynthia Goldsmith, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia.	Influenza-A Necktie Infectious Awareables 24040 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $35.00 self tie bow tie	Influenza-A (Grippe) causes the “flu,” a highly contagious, potentially dangerous infection of the respiratory tract. Because it is so common, it often does not get the respect it deserves! In fact, the public health community is concerned about the possibility of global pandemic.
Mad Cow Prion Necktie Infectious Awareables 3901 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $40.00 silk scarf	Mad Cow Disease (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy)is a degenerative, fatal disease affecting the CNS of adult cattle. It's believed that BSE is caused by a protein gone bad, called a Prion. A similar disease in humans is called variant CJD, and is believed to be caused by eating neural tissues from BSE-infected cattle. This design depicts a few bad guys glomming on to the good guys, eventually taking over and turning them all-bad. The twig-like structures in the background represent another configuration of these prions.
Malaria Necktie Infectious Awareables 2800 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $40.00 silk scarf	Malaria Necktie Infectious Awareables 1230 green/blue, red/green, green/gold $40.00 silk tie	Malaria is a serious infectious illness caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The parasites are injected into red blood cells by the Anopheles mosquito, causing the cells to eventually burst. In this accurately detailed design, taken directly from bloods smears by Dr. Rick Fairhurst, you malariologists will recognize the characteristic single and double "signet ring" appearance within the RBCs, overlaying the slide forms. Malaria kills nearly 2 million people annually, and is becoming increasingly resistant to treatment.
MicroArray Necktie Infectious Awareables 4100 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $35.00 silk bow tie	MicroArrays are diagnostic tests that provide biological information through gene expression analysis. The colors represent levels of gene activity used to understand and diagnose human disease. This design is based on Dr. Mark Shena’s pioneering work at Stanford University, first published in 1995. MOLD is a serious environmental hazard, composed of varying types of FUNGI, and has wide-reaching health-related, legal and financial implications. This tie features: Stachybotrys (oblong with hyphae at end): the classic, toxic black mold, found in water-damaged or "leaky" buildings. The spores are choka-block with a variety of toxins; Aspergillus: (flower-like): looks beautiful,like a fanning flower, but can produce a very a nasty aflatoxin; Penicillium (faint "artist's brush" shape in background): a common environmental mold, with one of the more recognizable shapes for microbiologists.

Yersinia pestis is credited with killing up to two-thirds of the population of major European cities du ring the 14th century pandemic. Plague, often referred to as the “Black Death", is a bacterial disease transmitted by fleas, from rats to humans. It survives yet today as a potential killer. Prevention centers on improved sanitary conditions and the eradication of rodent reservoirs.
Polio Virus Necktie Infectious Awareables 2203 $40.00 silk tie $40.00 silk scarf	Polio Virus Necktie Infectious Awareables 2203 - details	Poliovirus causes poliomyelitis, a CNS disease of once-epidemic proportions. A 1988 WHO resolution to eradicate polio originally targeted for completion in 2000- has resulted in elimination of the dread disease in 98-99% of the world. However, a difficult mopping up effort remains in order to achieve the goal of a polio-free global community. Presenting the Eradication Edition of our poliovirus (necktie, scarf) design, featuring incorporation of the famous Rotary International wheel logo. Rotary International and its PolioPlus foundation are at the forefront of the global campaign to eradicate polio once and for all! In conjunction with the World Health Organization and other agencies, Rotary International has helped eliminate this dread CNS disease in 98 - 99% of the world. A difficult challenge remains, however, to stamp out that last 1%, which if not addressed, could lead to reemergence. IA strongly supports this campaign and will donate a portion of every sale to the PolioPlus foundation to help in its continuing efforts.
Rhinovirus RNA Cold Virus Necktie Infectious Awareables 4300 black/purple, burgundy/tan $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $35.00 self tie bow tie	Rhinovirus (Common Cold) is one of over 100 distinct RNA viruses that most often cause the common cold. Infection is transmitted by direct contact, aerosol inhalation, or indirectly by contaminated objects (fomites). Symptoms include dry scratchy throat, headache, nasal congestion, sneezing, and malaise...but then, you knew that!	SARS Virus: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Necktie Infectious Awareables 3700 black/ecru, navy/blue $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $35.00 self tie bow tie	Rhinovirus (Common Cold) is one of over 100 distinct RNA viruses that most often cause the common cold.

Multiple Resistance Staphloccus aureus Necktie Infectious Awareables 4700 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $35.00 self tie bow tie $40.00 silk scarf	The MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) design draws attention to the increasingly serious issue of antibiotic resistance. Typically transmitted skin-to-skin, MRSA in its earliest form was primarily a “hospital-acquired” pathogen. However, it has now mutated into a “community-acquired” strain, characterized by excretion of a potent toxin which attacks the immune system and destroys tissues. It is important to note that resistant forms look the same as other bacteria except that they bear genes and products – as demonstrated in our design by the “glow” around the mutant strains - which protect them from antibiotics. Inspiration for this design was provided by APUA (Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics), an international organization dedicated to encouraging responsible use of antimicrobials and curbing antimicrobial resistance world wide. Staph aureus infections can be as minor as a pimple, or as serious as a fulminating infection. A common bacteria typically residing on the skin, Staph can be lethal if introduced into the blood stream. Staph is one of the major contributors to nosocomial, or hospital-induced infections. To make matters worse, Staphyloccoccus is becoming increasingly dangerous as it builds resistance to anti-microbial therapy (antibiotics.)

Embryonic Stem Cell Necktie Infectious Awareables 2700 navy/blue, red/black $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $35.00 self tie bow tie $40.00 silk scarf	Stem Cells don't look like much under the microscope. By being able to differentiate into specialized cells, however, these little precursor cells may play a key role in the cure and treatment of a wide range of diseases and conditions. Time will tell, as the debate rages on.	Streptococcus pneumonia Necktie Infectious Awareables 3301 blue/red, blue/pink $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $35.00 self tie bow tie	Streptoccus pneumonia is a bacterium responsible for blood, bone and ear infections, as well as for meningitis and pneumonia. Considering its morbidity rate in young children, its somewhat akin to a pediatrician’s “annuity!” It’s also a common nosocomial nasty, made even more so by it’s growing resistance to antibiotic therapy. A vaccine is available that is highly recommended for both children and seniors. Images courtesy of Dr. Rick Fairhurst
Swine Flue Necktie Infectious Awareables 1000 blue/gold, green/cream $40.00 silk tie	Pigs can harbor influenza viruses adapted to humans and others that are adapted to birds, allowing the viruses to exchange genes and create a pandemic strain.
Syphilis Necktie Infectious Awareables 1212 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $35.00 self tie bow tie	Syphilis Necktie Infectious Awareables 1213 $40.00 silk tie	Based on the Treponema pallidum pathogen, this necktie design is a work of art. Syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease caused by a spirochete, was at one time as feared as AIDS. Today, while we have the potential to eradicate this disease, we still see outbreaks which remind us of this serious threat. Syphilis can cause serious heart abnormalities, mental disorders, neurologic problems, blindness and death. It is characterized by distinct stages, usually over a period of years.
Testosterone Steroid Necktie Infectious Awareables 3200 red/blue, grey/red $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie self tie bow tie $35.00	Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group. The word hormone is derivative of the Greek word, "hormaien," which translates to "set in motion, begin action." In both men and women, testosterone plays a key role in health and well-being as well as in sexual functioning.
TB: Tuberculosis Bacteria Necktie Infectious Awareables 1400 blue/pink, blue/red $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie	Based on the Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogen, this necktie pattern is faithful to the slide, right down to the “red snappers.” TB, an age-old bacterial pathogen transmitted by airborne droplets, remains the greatest infectious killer in the history of man. It has re-emerged to pose a serious global threat, causing more than 2 million deaths each year, primarily in developing countries. Its multi-drug resistant (MDRTB) form is particularly dangerous and growing more wide-spread where crowded conditions and non-compliance to strict drug regimens are common.	Vaccinia Necktie Infectious Awareables 3401 blue/grey, taupe/tan $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $40.00 silk scarf	Vaccinia virus, a less dangerous relative of variola, forms the basis for the smallpox vaccine which was used to accomplish one of history’s great public health achievements, global elimination of smallpox. Our design is dedicated to the courageous U.S. led WHO team instrumental in this effort. It features the two most typical appearances of the virus, brick and horseshoe shaped, and is highlighted by images of the bifurcated needle used in the vaccination process.

Waterborne Six Bacteria Necktie Infectious Awareables 4300 $40.00 silk tie $44.00 XL silk tie	Foodborne Six Bacteria Necktie Legionella, Norovirus, Pseudomonas, Hepatitis A, Cryptosporidium and E. coli	Legionella: arguably the most common viral cause of foodborne illness, gets most headlines when lurking in hotels and cruise ships. Noroviruses: are a group of related, single-stranded RNA, nonenveloped viruses that cause acute gastroenteritis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a rod-shaped organism that can be found in soil, water, plants, and animals. Because it rarely causes disease in healthy persons, but infects those who are already sick or who have weakened immune systems, it is called an opportunistic pathogen. Hepatitis A: is an acute infectious disease of the liver caused by Hepatitis A virus, which is most commonly transmitted by the fecal-oral route via contaminated food or drinking water. Following infection, the immune system makes antibodies against the hepatitis A virus that confer immunity against future infection. Cryptosporidium: Cryptosporidium is a protozoan pathogen which does not utilize an insect vector and is capable of completing its life cycle within a single host, resulting in cyst stages which are excreted in faeces and are capable of transmission to a new host. E. coli: E. coli are not always confined to the intestine, and their ability to survive for brief periods outside the body makes them an ideal indicator organism to test environmental samples for fecal contamination.
West Nile Virus Necktie Infectious Awareables 3801 gold/black, charcoal/red $40.00 silk tie $44.00 silk XL tie $35.00 self tie bow tie $40.00 silk scarf	West Nile Virus is a flavivirus transmitted by mosquitoes after feeding on infected birds. In severe cases, WNV can induce encepthalitis and cause the death of its human host. While it may have started on the West Nile, it's now a permanently established resident of the Western Hemisphere. Original images courtesy of Richard J. Kuhn, Ph.D. and Suchetana Mukhopadyay, Ph.D. Healthy sleep is a complex blend of electrical rhythms and hormones, including: REM (rapid eye movement) for the dream state; Slow Wave for depth and tranquility; and Melatonin, a master regulatory hormone. Deficits in any of these elements can lead to debilitating sleep debt or disorder, conditions that are silently growing into a health crisis. “ZZZ’s and Dreams” is an accurate reproduction of molecular Melatonin, and actual REM and Slow Wave EEGs.
