A little over a week after the Mets’ Noah Syndergaard was placed on the disabled list with hand, foot and mouth disease, the Yankees sent J.A. Happ home Tuesday due to his contracting the same illness.

Hopefully the Mariners catch this plague.

Is it becoming a small national epidemic?   I hadn't even heard much about it, until recently.

Causes

The most common cause of hand-foot-and-mouth disease is infection with the coxsackievirus A16. The coxsackievirus belongs to a group of viruses called nonpolio enteroviruses. Other types of enteroviruses sometimes cause hand-foot-and-mouth disease.

Oral ingestion is the main source of coxsackievirus infection and hand-foot-and-mouth disease. The illness spreads by person-to-person contact with an infected person's:

• Nasal secretions or throat discharge
• Saliva
• Fluid from blisters
• Stool
• Respiratory droplets sprayed into the air after a cough or sneeze

Well, there it is. Oral ingestion is the main source of coxsack virus.
