I have a huge relationship dilemma. My boyfriend and I have been dating since our sophomore year in high school. Yes, we are your stereotypical match made in heaven.

I’ve been seeing a lot of cases of “hand, foot and mouth disease” (HFM) in the office lately. This illness is usually caused by a Coxsackie virus A-16, a member of the enteroviral family.
