Can hand, foot and mouth infect adults

summary

Some time ago, the baby went to the kindergarten for class, but recently, she always had blisters on her hands. Later, I took her to the hospital for examination. The doctor told me that the baby had hand foot mouth disease, and it took a week to get better. Because her husband's constitution was weak, I was worried that it would infect her husband and cause other diseases. Later, she died In fact, the chance of HFMD infecting adults is zero. Let's share the method with you.

Can hand, foot and mouth infect adults

First: the doctor told us that HFMD is actually caused by children, because children's constitution is relatively weak and their resistance is relatively small. Moreover, this is an infectious disease between children caused by enterovirus infection. Up to now, no adult has been infected, because the immunity of adults is relatively high.

Second: in fact, the chance of HFMD infection is very large, but for adults, the chance of infection is zero. The main mode of HFMD transmission is close contact with people. For example, toys or dairy products used by children when they are sick can cause infection. Adults should pay attention to this aspect.

Third: if the patient's constitution is relatively weak, then it is possible to prevent the infection of HFMD. In general, the virus in throat secretions and saliva of HFMD patients can be transmitted through the air, so if a child has HFMD, it is better to have less close contact with him.
