Hand, foot and mouth disease hits FSU

TD: A viral infection more common to babies and toddlers has hit Florida State University student living quarters, prompting university officials to cancel several events Tuesday night including fraternity rush activities.

An outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease has struck a small group of students, officials said.

“We are aware of more than a dozen cases so far,” said Lesley Sacher, director of the FSU Health and Wellness Center in a university release.

There is no treatment for the virus, which can cause mouth sores, skin rash and fever, according to the Centers for Disease Control. It takes about five days for the infection to run its course, university officials said.  MORE
