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. These viruses are typically seen in the summer and early fall. (Don’t worry, this illness is not related to “hoof and mouth” disease seen in animals.)

I remember thinking: Wow-rigging your wedding to take place near a natural scenic treasure is incredibly romantic!
