Just a friendly PSA: symptomatic Hand Foot Mouth Disease can happen in adults, and it sucks balls. The first four pics were Saturday afternoon, free my beloved wife went full witch doctor and whipped up a salve which almost immediately began reducing the swelling. I woke up at 0200 that morning, my hands on fire, so swollen from the blisters I couldn’t move them. A couple of my finger tips are still so swollen that they’re numb, and my left thumb struggles to register a button tap on my iPhone lol. Last six pics are today, just now as I wrote this. Keep your immune systems on point, folks, I don’t think I’d wish that first 12 hours on my enemies.

My wife got it with our first child from daycare a couple year back.

Hopefully her experience was better than mine, I’m still waiting on some blisters to dry up.
