The playdate was on Wednesday and everyone that got it had come down with it by Sunday or Monday. So it was about 4-5 days. We cancelled a playdate with a different group just to make sure LO was not carrying it but she never got it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-how-long-from-exposure-for-symptoms-to-appear#post-2287879 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 15:51:54 +0000 Tanjowen 2287879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: that is definitely best case scenario! </p> <p>@raintreebee: @hilsy85: So 4-6 days.

We all we went to a playground together on Monday, so we are 3 days out from exposure. If he still doesn't have any symptoms today can I be hopeful that he escaped? </p>
