Yes, my sister had it when we were growing up. Fifth disease is also called slapped cheek disease because of the rash that develops on the face that lasts for 2-7 days. It's a virus, so there's no cure. Other symptoms include sneezing, runny nose (flu-like symptoms), and achy joints and headache. It can only be spread through sneezing and coughing (or eating/drinking after someone).
