flag 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. flag The outbreak, affecting school-aged children more than usual, is being linked to reduced viral exposure during the pandemic. flag Symptoms include fever, mouth sores, and blisters on hands, feet, or buttocks, and the virus spreads through respiratory droplets, saliva, and contaminated surfaces. flag The Memphis-Shelby County Schools district has boosted cleaning, promoted handwashing, and advised keeping sick children home. flag Health officials urge vigilance, as the illness typically lasts 7–10 days with no specific treatment.
