Actually, I hadn't even heard of it before, but it's still curious that it's spreading like wildfire over there and seems dangerous to them. Thanks for the info and the investigation, Ehren!

Apparently this is a point of confusion because it is not some rare mutant strain. Its the same virus that causes it here. It started in California, but for some reason it is killing Chinese children. No one really knows why. Ok, I did a little poking around.

Thats pretty common, even around here. It can be uncomfortable but never results in death. Little blisters can be treated with neosporin if they burst, which causes it to spread. Otherwise, they go away on their own in a week or so. Ella got it from her little friend Erin, and I caught it from her. Erin's mom had it too, sh got it in her mouth, which is more painful. Mine limited to the hands, which caused some trouble with doing dishes, but otherwise no real difficulty. Are you sure its Hand Foot and Mouth disease? Thats pretty common, even around here.
