No vaccine is currently available in the United States. Treatment
Medications are usually not needed as hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral disease that typically resolves on its own. Currently, there is no specific curative treatment for hand, foot and mouth disease. Disease management typically focuses on achieving symptomatic relief. Pain from the sores may be eased with the use of analgesic medications. Infection in older children, adolescents, and adults is typically mild and lasts approximately 1 week, but may occasionally run a longer course. Fever reducers can help decrease body temperature.In 2018, National Health Commission of China assembled a panel of experts to revise their guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hand, foot and mouth disease. Consumption of Traditional Chinese medicine, prescribed by certified physicians, are recommended to clear the symptoms.A minority of individuals with hand, foot and mouth disease may require hospital admission due to complications such as inflammation of the brain, inflammation of the meninges, or acute flaccid paralysis. Non-neurologic complications such as inflammation of the heart, fluid in the lungs, or bleeding into the lungs may also occur. Complications
Complications from the viral infections that cause HFMD are rare, but require immediate medical treatment if present. HFMD infections caused by Enterovirus 71 tend to be more severe and are more likely to have neurologic or cardiac complications including death than infections caused by Coxsackievirus A16. Viral or aseptic meningitis can occur with HFMD in rare cases and is characterized by fever, headache, stiff neck, or back pain.
Methylmercury (sometimes methyl mercury) is an organometallic cation with the formula [CH3Hg]+. Methylmercury is extremely toxic, and its derivatives are the major source of organic mercury for humans. It is a bioaccumulative environmental toxicant. Structure and chemistry
"Methylmercury" is a shorthand for the hypothetical "methylmercury cation", sometimes written "methylmercury(1+) cation" or "methylmercury(II) cation". This functional group is composed of a methyl group bonded to an atom of  mercury. Its chemical formula is CH3Hg+ (sometimes written as MeHg+). Methylmercury exists as a substituent in many complexes of the type [MeHgL]+ (L = Lewis base) and MeHgX (X = anion).As a positively charged ion it readily combines with anions such as chloride (Cl−), hydroxide (OH−) and nitrate (NO−3). It has particular affinity for sulfur-containing anions, particularly thiols (RS−). Thiols are generated when the amino acid cysteine and the peptide glutathione form strong complexes with methylmercury:
[MeHg]+ + RSH  →   MeHg−SR + H+

Sources
Environmental sources
Methylmercury is formed from inorganic mercury by the action of microbes that live in aquatic systems including lakes, rivers, wetlands, sediments, soils and the open ocean. This methylmercury production has been primarily attributed to anaerobic bacteria in the sediment. Significant concentrations of methylmercury in ocean water columns are strongly associated with nutrients and organic matter remineralization, which indicate that remineralization may contribute to methylmercury production. Direct measurements of methylmercury production using stable mercury isotopes have also been observed in marine waters, but the microbes involved are still unknown.
