Urethramonas Candiruensis, an invasive microbe, enters the human body through the urethra. The parasite multiplies in water sources and then scurries into a host organism through the victim’s urine stream.

"Personal Growths" is a series of motivational affirmations posters by Katty Pulsar and Raven Storm. Body horror meets body humor in these absurd and hilariously disgusting images, lovingly crafted by our resident graphic designers. From "When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade" to "Train Insane or Remain the Same," these prints will give you reason to get up in the morning and say, "Hey, I too am a skin-bag filled with meat, bone, puss and blood, and that's okay."
