Hand foot mouth disease?


Question:
My daughter (she will be 1 on Thurs) was just diagnosed with hands, foot and mouth disease. One question I forgot to ask the Doc was how contagious is it to adults. I know it's very contagious in children. What are the chances of my husband and I contracting it?

Answers:
Adults have usually had it at one point or other in their lives even if they dont remember it. My kids had it and I didnt get it and no other adult did either. Just make sure to wash your hands quite often. It wouldnt hurt to keep her at home for a few days either.
good
