Tomato Flu
Now a days people are worried and scared about Tomato flu virus due to fake media news.
Actually it’s a very old disease call hand foot mouth disease (HFMD)caused by very old well known virus call coxsachie A16 or Enterovirus 72.
All dermatologist seeing these cases every year since decades and it’s not a serious disease and nothing to do with Tomatoes.
HFMD is known as thakaali (tomato) pani (fever) in malayalam that’s the real reason for this name.
School going children less than 5 years are normally affected and the cases were less due to closure of school during corona and it suddenly increased after reopening of schools.
I request all my friends to share this message to others to reduce panic among common people.
