A member asked:

Does anyone have any information on hand foot and mouth disease risks?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Child care centers: Children in child care centers are especially susceptible to outbreaks of hand-foot-and-mouth disease because the infection spreads by person-to-person contact, and young children are the most susceptible. Children usually develop immunity to hand-foot-and-mouth disease as they get older by building antibodies after exposure to the virus that causes the disease.
