HFM. Odd side effect (PSA)

So DS2 was one of the first to get HFM on this board. It was about 6 weeks ago now and was truly awful.
So, he has developed a new symptom/side effect of HFM - the poor kid's fingernails are falling off! I have never seen such a thing, it is so bizarre.
Anyway, just wanted to make everyone aware that this can happen because it freaked me out when i first noticed it this weekend.
HFM sucks.

  • DS has peeling all over his fingers and feet. He has also been pooping like 5 times a day which he normally did 1 to 3 times before HFM.
