My friend was just talking to me on the computer and tells me that her daughter as foot and mouth diease. What is it and is it contagious. Wendy
I don't think it is contagious from animals to people, if that's what you're asking. I don't know anything about it in humans but I believe it's supposed to be reported to the state in animals.
Foot and mouth disease is contageous among hoofed animals. People don't catch it from them. When people comment that someone they know has foot and mouth disease, what they are saying is that the person tends to "put their foot in their mouth". Kathie
