about a week ago, my daycare has a sign on the window stating that they have had a few cases of hand, foot and mouth disease. And wouldn't you know, 4 days ago, my 1-yr old (doesn't go to daycare yet), me and my wife (pregnant) get knocked the f**k over with this virus.
Upon investigation, it seems that it is rare for people over the age of 5 to contract this virus, but in my family, we are batting 1,000. Interestingly, 5-yr-old that goes to this daycare does not have it. Go figure.
Reason for post: I've been hearing about multiple adults contracting this virus all-of-a-sudden. Anyone else privy to this?
It is rare for adults to get it. However, like everything else if you’re child has it more than likely you can/will too. I worked in a Head Start for 6 years, it went around every year. As long as we kept the ones who had it at home & everything cleaned/sanitized it normally wouldn’t spread around too much.
