Is hand, foot, and mouth disease going around Hammond, Indiana?
Not right now. No confirmed hand, foot, and mouth disease activity has been reported at Hammond, Indiana schools and daycares in the past 14 days. That can mean it is quiet, or simply that nobody nearby has logged it yet.
How Hammond parents can tell
- Mild fever and fussiness
- Painful mouth sores
- Red spots or blisters on hands and feet
- Drooling or refusing to eat
It is most contagious in the first week, but the virus can stay in stool for weeks, which is why daycares see long runs of it.
Everything on this page comes from Hammond parents logging what their kids actually had, stripped of anything identifying. Nothing shows up until at least two families report the same thing, so one sick child never puts a school on the map.
