I've been wondering whether foot-and-mouth is the same disease as hoof-and-mouth
I think it was originally hoof-and-mouth, because it only had to do with animals, but them when humans got sick they decided that foot-and-mouth would be more apposite because humans don't have hooves.
On second thought that doesn't make much sense because feet have nothing to do with humans getting infected, oh well.
