I've seen it in younger children and my older son had it as a toddler.

Never heard of that one before Smaug. I had Fifth disease before, it was no fun at all. 😞

I think it is a virus. It caused a rash, and then I itched everywhere, badly. After the rash it seemed to attack every joint in my body. I ached everywhere. I worked through the whole ordeal. It was more annoying than debilitating.

Edit: It was similar in alot of ways to z00t. 😏

How do you end up getting something like this? Is it specific to a region? Around here, you need to watch for the tics and mosquitoes. You could end up with Lyme or Triple E.

I was told it was rare. My wife and kids all had it too. I guess we were just lucky. 😕

Holy Crap. I've had these symptoms occur every couple of years after returning from Nam. No doctor could tell me what was going on. Haven't had an outbreak in 10 years. Hope it has run it's course.
