Welcome to Microbes, the infectious Facebook application!

Give one of these adorable virtual microbes (below) to your friends and gain infection points. You will also get a point every time one of your friends passes the microbe on (and when their friends pass it on!). Can you infect a million people? It's not as difficult as you might think.

Add the Virtual Microbes application to send your friend(s) a microbe!
