Hand foot & mouth: Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old (sometimes adults too). Hand, foot, and mouth disease is spread from person to person through nose and throat secretions (such as saliva, sputum, or nasal mucus), blister fluid, or stool of infected persons.
