Dr. Roger Freeman (DDS) of Infectious Awareables (IA), the fashionable health education company (or the  health-educating fashion company), has chosen the winning design for the challenge he issued earlier this year to illustrate pain relief.

The design will appear on IA silk scarves, which are available for  $39.95 (U.S.) each. (The company contributes a portion of proceeds to research, education or support associated with non-profit public health agencies and organizations.)

The company designs and sells silk ties, silk scarves, bow ties and boxers bearing colourful electron micrographs of pathogens of public health interest (the fashion part) with tags that provide brief health information (the education part).
