A virus that lives in the intestines has taken the lives of 21 children so far in the country of China. The name of the awful virus is Enterovirus 71 and causes rashes, fevers and mouth sores. Some children have been reported to even have heart and brain damage as a result of catching this deadly virus.

Word is that this virus is caught through contact with saliva, blisters, contact with nostrils and stool. This is obviously a scary thought for children everywhere when a virus can be caught so easily and end up concluding in such a destructive way.

Most of the children effected have been under the age of 6.
