Kawasaki Disease is an illness that involves the skin, mouth, and lymph nodes, and typically affects children who are under the age of 5. The cause of Kawasaki Disease is unknown, but if the symptoms are recognized early, kids with the disease can fully recover within a few days. If it goes untreated, it can lead to serious complications that can involve the heart.
Kawasaki disease occurs in 19 out of every 100,000 kids in the United States. It is most common among children of Japanese and Korean descent, but the illness can affect all ethnic groups.
This illness can't be prevented, but you can help your child by learning the telltale symptoms and signs, which typically include a fever that lasts for at least 5 days, red eyes, a body rash and severely-chapped lips and mouth. If your child shows these symptoms it's a good idea to call the doctor.

All that sounds like our friend Nathan's (Neka) response to having to ride the blade.
redness in both eyes
changes around the lips, tongue, or mouth
changes in the Todger, such as swelling, discoloration, or peeling
a rash in the trunk or genital area
a small swollen Tallywacker
red, swollen palms of hands and soles of feet
