This disease is often less attention as other diseases. Such as cholera.
Every hot season, this disease outbreak in our country. Most patients are children under 3 years old.
The time now is summer and the epidemic is beginning to return. From the beginning of the year, had six children died from hand - foot - mouth.
Causes of disease is in the kindergartens and primary schools did not comply with the disinfection process to ensure hygiene.
This can happen in your country?

That is terrible! I guess it could happen anywhere. When there is the start of an epidemic the people should be quarantined. Anything so the disease doesn't spread. Some countries have poor conditions and disease is more common there. It might help a lot if the conditions were healthier. The people should be taught how to have less germs in their day to day life, especially in schools or public places.

You're right. Government is trying to propaganda via TV and newspaper to the public.

I am very sorry to hear that. I think it is possible for it to happen just about anywhere, especially these days. We all need to be safe and protect ourselves from it.

Diseases are much more nowadays. They're really dangerous if we don't protect ourself.

HI. tkonlinevn. I have never heard about this plague being in our country at all. This seems to be a very deadly disease. So the disease can be transported from the hand, foot and the mouth? What causes this disease to spread? Is it from not cleaning the body properly?
