Question
Can adults get hand, foot, and mouth disease? I’m feeling listless and exhausted, what’s going on?
Answer
Adults generally do not exhibit the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Even if they are infected with the virus, they usually recover on their own if their immune system is strong, or if they have been exposed to it before, they will typically recover completely without any recurrence of symptoms. It’s important to know this so that you can relax and there’s no need for excessive worry or anxiety. It’s a very common disease.
