Disease from Hell that doesn't have any specific treatment!

Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease is a contagious illness that caused by different viruses. An infected person may spread the viruses to another person by means of contact with contaminated objects and surfaces, contact with blister fluid, coughing and sneezing, contact with feces (changing diapers) and close physical contact like kissing and hugging. HFMD mostly affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, teens and adults can be infected too. Most known source of  virus outbreaks are occurring in childcare centers, kindergartens and schools.

This disease can result in dehydration due to severe ulcers in mouth  that can be very painful, interfering with intake of food and drink that is very dangerous for infants and our small children. Rashes on skins, blister and mouth lesions is also present.

One Mother shared a story about the disease that called Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease suffered by her family . Joana describe HFMD as a illness from the hell that gave a nightmare to her family she said "As far as the variety of illnesses our family has had the pleasure to experience over the last six years with kid, I would have to say that HFM has been the worst... dare I say, biblical"

As you can see on the photo above her youngest daughter Mia skin exploded the next day with the kind of horrifying HFM blisters. She noted that her daughter mouth was surrounded, and her hands, arms, torso, feet thighs and bum were covered of rashes.

She even ask some adults who experience HFM to articulate exactly what she feels like.
"As the blisters begin to heal, there is a constant pins and needles sensation. Adding pressure like a blanket, or wearing gloves helped. The rash eventually becomes very itchy".

Here's a photo of her husband's friend who was with the kids on daycare and he was hit very HARD.

"It feels like a burning sensation on your hands and feet; I couldn't walk, and if I did I had to crawl on my hands and knees." He noted.
