    Relax! It's nothing to panic about, is quite common, and has been around forever.

    Edit, I see this is a 'harsher strain, but still, I stand by my original statement, relax :smile:

    It's pretty common and pretty much all kids get it at some point. My friends baby just had it.

    Im not in a panic.

    I dont like the fact that its a NEW strand that is causing loss of finger/toe nails and the blisters are far bigger and cause more pain.

    Its common but this is a NEW strand that people should def know about.

    I survived hand, foot, and mouth disease.

    I wish I had that tshirt.

    Cuz seriously, I did. I had it last fall.

    I guess my toddler gave it to me, not sure. Didn't really effect him.

    The mouth blisters were TURRIBLE.

    I am a high school teacher and when I went to the doc (My doctor is a super awesome Indian lady), and asked her if I needed to stay home from work, she was like, "what? noooooo, they gave it to you!"

    It's like fastfood news. USA today is not the most reputable news source.
