[quote=Anonymous]So fun fact. My kids had HFM in September and I called the pediatrician to ask what to do about school. We were explicitly told (in writing) that we can send them to school once they're fever free even if they have a rash because it's both contagious before the rash starts and for 1-3 weeks after the rash in their respiratory tract and over a month in their stool if they don't wash their hands well enough. It also tends to not cause hospitalization so it isn't worth keeping kids out of school for over a week waiting for blisters to resolve. We kept our kids out of other activities with kids that they hadn't exposed until their rashes resolved but they went back to school once their feet weren't too sore for shoes with their Pediatricians blessing.
