Best Answer

I assume that you mean hand, foot and mouth disease.

This disease is caused by a specific picoRNA virus called coxsackie virus. The disease is normally only manifested in children less than 10 years old, but theoretically, if you are exposed as an adult and have a weakened immune system, then you could catch it.
