What are the symptoms of measles?
People with measles often appear very ill. Early symptoms of measles include: • Runny nose • Cough • Tiredness/Sleepiness • Loss of appetite • Fever • Spots inside the mouth that look like grains of salt (Koplik Spots) • Sensitivity to light • Conjunctivitis (pink eye) Around the fourth day of illness, the fever often goes up (often to over 101°F), and a blotchy red rash appears on the face or near the hair line and spreads downward and outward to the rest of the body. The rash lasts about 4 or 5 days. It slowly fades in the same order it appeared.
How is measles spread?
Measles is spread by contact with the nose or throat droplets of an infected person. This can happen when someone coughs or sneezes near someone else or when someone touches objects with nose or throat droplets on them. Measles is very contagious, and the virus can remain in the air for up to two hours. People with measles can spread the disease approximately 4 days before they even get a rash, and up to 4 days after the rash starts. Anyone with measles should stay home during that time to prevent giving the illness to others.
