I had that. Very mild symptoms in my case; the worst was a blistery (and I recall itchy) rash on the palms of my hand. A non-event, really. But the CDC ought to be on top of anything like this from the get go. Better a million false alarms than one undiagnosed case of smallpox sitting in a very busy ER waiting room somewhere for six hours plus (not uncommon for the kind of clinics the indigent have to use.)

I stand corrected from the peanut gallery. I had Coxsackie, not Fifth, and while I didn't get very sick, the 7 year old who gave it to me was very ill for quite some time.
