Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease

Freda had it when she was a few months old. Mandy and I obviously have not had it. Freda must have brought it home from school. I had it last week and Mandy has it this week. It's horrible. Felt like I was walking on shards of broken glass for 4-5 days. And this, after 5-7 days of fever, loss of appetite, malaise, backache, thirst, night sweats, headache, was just over the top.

"Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is a mild, contagious viral infection common in young children. Characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet, hand-foot-and-mouth disease is most commonly caused by a coxsackievirus."]
