Hand Foot Mouth Disease Strikes Family in Lawrence
Kendra Metz of Eudora and her husband and 17 month old Owen are recovering from hand, foot and mouth disease. Owen had fever and mouth blisters with a leg rash, making hydration hard. Mets say his palms and feet were most painful. The family’s nurses caution spread via saliva, blisters, feces, and contaminated objects, with contagiousness strongest in the first week. Dehydration is the main complication, with rare viral meningitis or brain inflammation possible. Return to day care usually after fever ends. Children should stay home if fever or drooling persists.
