Our world is full of many things that we are unaware of. We may have so much knowledge on a subject that another person would have no clue on. Today, at my music lesson, I learned about the Hand-Foot-and mouth disease. At my lesson, I asked my teacher how is children were doing and he let me know that is youngest child had this viral infection. He let me know how common this was among kids. I was familiar with many kids contracting chicken pox but this was something that I was completely unaware about. The most common disease has the coxsackievirus A16 strand. This non polio enterovirus is mostly common in children because of diaper changes, potty training, and little children putting their hands in their mouth. Adults are also able to contract this disease as well. The disease causes rashes around the mouth, feet, and hands. The virus is able to stay in the infected individuals system for about a week. You can contract this disease by coming in contact with bodily secretions from the infected individual. In class, we learn about how our bodies can do so many diverse functions. Each cell is different, whether it be red or white blood cells. They all have a specific role. We rely on how our bodies fight foreign material in order to survive. The fact that this disease is not fatal is because we are assuming that our body will fight the virus. White blood cells play a quintessential part in our daily lives. The world is full of things that we do not know and so we never stop learning new things.
