Media outlets called it “tomato flu” because it causes red, inflamed blisters that resemble tomatoes. In some cases, the painful blisters may be as large as tomatoes.

Tomato flu acts as an endemic, which means it affects certain people in a specific region. It's an illness that mostly affects young children. However, adults with compromised immune systems may also contract tomato flu.

➡️ Causes
Researchers are still working to understand tomato flu and its causes. The evidence so far suggests it is just another type of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), a common illness that affects mostly children. Tomato flu may develop after exposure to a virus. More specifically, it is caused by an enterovirus, which is a group of viruses that enter through a person’s mouth and are absorbed into the gut.

➡️ Tomato Flu is More Likely in Children
Children are more likely to become infected with enteroviruses because they often put their hands and other objects in their mouths. Infections can also happen through the use of diapers and by touching infected surfaces.

➡️ Signs and Symptoms
The early symptoms of tomato flu are similar to other viral infections. In its early stages, tomato flu causes fever, rashes, and joint pain. Later, the blisters that give “tomato flu” its nickname appear on various parts of the body. These blisters can be quite painful and grow large.

➡️ Other symptoms of tomato flu include:
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Swelling of joints
- Body aches
- Common flu-like symptoms

➡️ Preventing Tomato Flu
To prevent the spread of tomato flu, isolate the infected person as soon as possible. Keep the child isolated for 5 to 7 days after symptoms first appear to prevent the spread of infection to others.

➡️ Treatment
The treatment of tomato flu is similar to other diseases, and it focuses on:
- Isolation
- Getting plenty of rest
- Drinking fluids

➡️ Home Remedies
Encouraging the child to maintain good hygiene can help prevent the spread. Keeping surfaces clean and washing toys, clothing, and other objects can also help reduce transmission. To reduce the risk of skin infections, parents should discourage their sick child from scratching or picking at rashes and blisters.

➡️ Why is the Disease Called the “Tomato Flu?"
People call it “tomato flu” because it causes a rash and round, red skin lesions that look like tomatoes. These lesions can grow rather large.

➡️ Why Does the Tomato Flu Mostly Affect Children?
Youngsters are at higher risk for contracting tomato flu or other enteroviruses because they are more likely to put toys, bedding, clothing, and other personal items into their mouths. This gives enteroviruses easy access to the child’s digestive tract where it can cause infection.
