Get the elephantic mug.Lymphatic Filiarisis (elephantiasis) is a thread-like filarial worm is passed from person to person through the bite of an infected mosquito. Once inside the body of an unsuspecting person, the worm thrives in the lymph vessels and tissues. As it grows, it causes marked swelling of the limbs and other extremities. Elephantiasis is a skin disease that is most common in the tropics. It gets its name because the affected skin becomes rough and thickened usually causes the disease. Mosquitoes carry the worm. When the mosquito bites, the worm enters the body and eventually lodges in the lymph vessels.
It most commonly affects the limbs and can occasionally move to the scrotal areas and outer genitalia.
please people, you might think its funny, but this is a serious and painful disease, its not right to make fun of these people, most of them live in areas where good medical help is hard to find so they can't get relief from this curable disease until its too late and its gone into later stages(when it is incurable). And you all seem to think its a joke.

Get the Elephantitis mug.A horrible, horrible thing to have!!
Passed on by a insect, and something a family does not like to talk about.
Passed on by a insect, and something a family does not like to talk about.
As a little girl who watched as her grandma could not walk by herself for grandma has a very big leg and it looked nasty. It was sad for a child to see.
For years I did not know what grand ma had, why her leg was so big and not so pleasant to look at. For this disease was something no one spoke of in my family.
Hearing the people and children at church point and stare was not something a grand daughter should ever have to witness, but having a grandmother like I did who had elephantitis and a God worshiping women she never got upset by these people pointing and commenting, she would just smile as my grandpa or uncle would help her get to where she was going.
My grandmother is passed on now, and I miss her dearly.
Just a grand daughters view of Elephantitis.

Get the elephantitis mug.Acid bath's singer Dax Riggs has a voice that sounds as if its been lived in a long time before he joined up, and with the unfortunate death of the bassist auddie in 2001, he started off on his own . Hes now in dark accoustic soul/ rock band DB and the ELEPHANTMEN.
With Tessie Brunet, whos drumming is much like Meg Whites( of the WHITE STRIPES), but lacks the childish pop stars horrible sense of timing and lack of creative ryhthm . Dax plugs in an epiphone hollowbody into his Fender twin reverb amp and blows you away, with standard timed songs about missfortunate events such as the passing of his father ( who he cared not much about ) , his experiences in becoming an adult ( hes 31) and DRUGS lots of drugs... Choosing to stay indie instead of hopping on the first label that offered ensures the music will remnain pure for as long as he claims louisiana......

Get the elephantitis of the head mug.The swelling of a woman's vagina that is so large her vagina can obviously be seen through her pants. Sometimes confused with camel toe, this condition differs in that it involves the entire mons pubis area and not just the vaginal lips. The easiest time to observe this phenomena is at the gym with women wearing lycra shorts or pants.
OMG, Andrea has the worst case of elephantitis vaginitis I've ever seen. She really needs to wear something to cover that up!
