What Is HFMD?
As we get older, we will be exposed to more and more pathogens as time goes by. Each time we are exposed to a pathogen, our immune system will learn to fight against it, helping to protect us against infections in the future. This means we are less likely to catch certain disease the older we get.
One example of this is hand foot and mouth disease. It is a common disease that is harmless in the vast majority of cases. As most adults have developed an immunity to it, it is only usually found in children, although some adults will still catch it. Here we take a close look at the disease, what the symptoms are, and what we can do about it.
