The Milwaukee Health Department said red rash can be spread through contact with contaminated food or water or feces.
“It’s serious that we need to be careful about this,” said Dr. Greg Demri, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Wisconsin Health. “Most children and adults with healthy immune systems have no problems with this disease and will recover.
“With this infection, it is very important to be careful about washing your hands, especially after going to the bathroom. For young children who may be wearing diapers, clean the area where you changed the diaper. That is very important.”

MPS said in a statement, in part, “We are following protocols to address this issue and no other infections have been reported.” Meanwhile, parents said they would keep an eye out for any red flags.
“It’s really scary,” Arizaga said. “My biggest concern is how quickly this will spread.”
“It’s certainly a concern for me. I don’t want my child to get sick, but again, I trust their protocols and I know my child will be okay. I’m going to keep an eye on it to make sure,” Schuler said.
The Milwaukee Health Department is providing guidance to those affected and recommending increased sanitation and cleaning practices. Families are encouraged to wash their hands thoroughly and seek medical attention if they develop symptoms.
