Hi. My mother in law is coming back to the United States from Cambodia. I was wondering if it is safe for her to be around my young children after all I heard about the ev70 hand foot mouth virus that has killed many children over there. I know it only affects children but could she be a carrier?
Hello, A child or an adult(sometimes) who has suffered from hand foot mouth virus can become the carrier for many months as virus can Keep shedding in the stool. But since your mother-in-law did not suffer from illness herself, she can not be the carrier. Thanks
