LYC: I have coxsackievirus. (let the jokes begin). I seem to have caught it from the kids int he house where I am doing the mural . Every other adult

who has spent time in the house has caught it as well, to different degrees. This is at least 9 different people. crazy.

Coxsackievirus, if you don't know, is also called Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (not to be confused with Foot and Mouth Disease in cows). Usually it's kids who get it, and adults can catch it from them but since most of us had it as kids, it's not as bad.

My friends and I are curious about this particular one. It seems weird that 100% of the adults who enter the house have caught it, some of them getting sick enough to miss work. I am lucky, I just had a mild case. We are wondering if maybe there is some new strain going around.
