What genetic diseases are common among Amish and Mennonites? Amish and Mennonites exhibit certain rare diseases uncommon in other populations. These include Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (a type of dwarfism), glutaric aciduria, Crigler-Najjar syndrome, and maple syrup urine disease.
Young children have the highest risk of catching hand, foot, and mouth disease. Risk increases if they attend daycare or school, where viruses may spread quickly. Older children and adults usually build up immunity to the disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is rare in people older than 10. However, infection is still possible, especially among adults with compromised immune systems.
