A surge in Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) has sickened at least 178 students and staff across 31 schools and three childcare centers in Shelby County, Tennessee, with cases rising since late August.

Symptoms include fever, mouth sores, and blisters on hands, feet, or buttocks, and the virus spreads through respiratory droplets, saliva, and contaminated surfaces.
