Do you know HFMD? It’s short for Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease. This year, in China, thousands of children were suffering from it. What’s HFMD? How to prevent it? Now read the passage please.

HFMD usually affects babies who are 1~4years old, but adults can also be infected. Both EV71 and Cox A 16 can cause HFMD, which usually starts with a slight fever followed by blisters（水泡） and ulcers（溃疡） in the mouth and rashes（皮疹） on the hands and feet.
