HFMD - Not Ash !

Cannot believe our luck ! We caught HFMD last week - first diagnosed on 8 Dec. We suspect that we may have caught it from Ash since four of her classmates were down with it the previous week. So far she's been fine, so we're guessing that she may have been the carrier (ie. carried from her classmates) but it was the same strain as the one she caught in April this year, thus making her immune to this strain.

Viv had it bad, fever, mouth ulcers, blisters. Mine was mild, no fever, 3 mouth ulcers, blisters on the hands and feet. It was so mild that in another time, I would have gone to work without even realising that I had contracted a contagious disease.
