Measles is a highly contagious illness that can cause serious health complications, particularly among infants and young children.

Symptoms commonly include a high fever, cough, runny nose, red or watery eyes, and a rash that typically develops three to five days after other symptoms begin.

Vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent measles. Please consult your healthcare provider to confirm that you and your family are up to date on the recommended MMR vaccination schedule. If you believe you or a family member may have been exposed to measles, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

💧 Do You Have a Private Well? 💧

Regular well testing is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family's health. Private wells can be impacted by naturally occurring contaminants, nearby agricultural activities, aging infrastructure, and environmental changes—often without any noticeable changes in taste, smell, or appearance.

✔️ Test for coliform bacteria and nitrates annually
✔️ Test for metals every three years
✔️ Consider testing for pesticides, VOCs, and PFAS when appropriate
✔️ Follow recommended treatment options if contaminants are detected

Safe drinking water starts with routine testing and maintenance.

For questions about private well testing and available resources, contact the Grundy County Health Department Environmental Health Division.
