[quote=Anonymous]High school kid was sent home last week. Started with a couple of tiny blisters. I wouldn’t have thought it was anything. It’s now all over soles of feet, palms, inside mouth and even in armpits. I heard of at least a couple more cases at our school. Virginia Department of Health is reporting it is a statewide outbreak. 165 outbreaks (multiple cases per cluster) in the last 6 months - up from 45-60 in a typical year. It’s highly contagious and can be spread for days/weeks even after fever subsides. Get out your bleach and hand sanitizer! Easily spread on surfaces as well as by touching, coughing or sneezing. https://www.wdbj7.com/2025/10/18/its-miserable-hand-foot-mouth-disease-spreading-rapidly-this-state-officials-say/?outputType=amp[/quote]
