A fun fact is that I actually contracted Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease from my 18-year-old sister who got it from a daycare that she works at. They had to do a lot of cleaning and sanitizing of the entire daycare. Also, since my sister and I live in the same house together with our family, we also spread it to our brother and to our father. The rashes, especially on our hands looked pretty bad, but after a week or so, we were better. I can attest that this virus is very easily spread.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is common in children under 5 years old, but anyone can get it.

The illness is usually not serious, but it is very contagious. It can spread quickly at schools and day care centers.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease spreads easily.

Symptoms can include fever, mouth sores, skin rash, and more.

Most people can be treated at home.

Not the Same as Foot-and-Mouth Disease

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is often confused with foot-and-mouth disease (also called hoof-and-mouth disease), which affects cows, sheep, goats, and pigs.

Humans do not get the animal disease, and animals do not get the human disease.
