Mump Outbreaks

Washing your hands before and after doing individual jobs, using the correct PPE for the task you are carrying out, Gloves, Aprons etc. This can stop the spread of fluids and germs which can be carried on clothes. Simply covering your mouth when coughing and sneezing then washing your hands will stop the spread of possible infection. Many surfaces can hold germs and bacteria, so even after touching any surfaces hands should be washed or gloves worn where ever possible.

What are Measles? According to Center of Disease Control, Measles start, “Three to five days after symptoms begin,” then, “a rash breaks out.” Measles are very contagious because if a person sneezes, coughs, or is even breathing next to you, you would most likely get it. Like Center of Disease Control says, “It usually begins as flat red spots that appear on the face at the hairline”. It starts from there and works its way down. To conclude,

| Glandular fever is spread through saliva. It can be spread through kissing, exposure to coughs and sneezes. Sharing eating and

When someone starts to cough, sneeze, or just feel sick in general, they are probably suffering from some sort of infection. Whether it is a small cold or a deadly plague, there is warfare happening down in their immune system to keep the invading virus or bacteria out of their body. Vaccines may provide short-lasting immunity from the disease but the immune system will keep them from ever getting the disease again. The Mumps Virus is one of these harrowing diseases, and the more someone knows about a disease, the less likely they are to contract it.

Some people may have it without even any symptoms and not even be aware that they're spreading it.”(Teale) This shows us that mumps isn't as quite deadly as it used to be like befor smallpox is a disease that can be spread many ways and also could be very dangerous if you get it because it could lead to death but to make sure you have it the symptoms are fever headache discomfort back pain possibly vomiting there no cure for it but you can get vaccinated to make sure you can't get it smallpox is a disease that can be spread many ways and also could be very dangerous if you get it because it could lead to death but to make sure you have it the symptoms are fever headache discomfort back pain possibly vomiting there no cure for it but you can get vaccinated to make sure you can't get it colorea was a disease back in the 19th century and if you caught it you died in hours or less your skin will turn blue due to not enough water in you and your blood thickens and you get non stop cramps with diarrhea and then you get death it was a really serious disease that killed millions but thankfully the disease disappeared from america and britain area but could be found in countries that have poor water supply or food you can die in hours there is no known cure your skin turns a bluish color do to you not drinking enough water your blood thickens and get non stop cramps with diarrhea and then you die in the article Inspirational Stories We are gravely concerned about the potential

Very simple steps can be taken in order to prevent the virus, or stop it from spreading. Hand washing with hot soapy water is a must, especially if you believe you may have handled an infected surface. Most importantly, if you are not feeling well or believe you may have been infected, avoid preparing food for others and always make sure to stay home when you are sick to avoid giving it to others.

It is very important to get vaccinated and to get checked out to see if you already encountered the disease. It is very important because, it saves you from catching a horrible disease and getting very sick. Also, if it’s a communicable disease you wouldn’t want it to harm others around you.

Unvaccinated people can cause outbreaks of viruses that have been eradicated. In late 2014 a measles outbreak occurred when an unvaccinated child who was a carrier of the disease visited Disneyland. This caused 173 people from seventeen different states to contract the virus that was eradicated from the United States in 2002. In order for measles to be under control 94-99% of the population must be vaccinated. With the recent trend of not vaccinating, measles, along with other once eradicated, or nearly eradicated diseases are making a come-back.

Just like the common cold or flu, these other more serious diseases can live on surfaces that we come in contact with every day. If a person who has not been vaccinated carries the disease onto a public surface and you come in contact with that surface, you can easily pick up the disease. A vaccination protects you against developing the disease by building up your body’s immune system to fight it. If everyone who came in contact with the disease in public were vaccinated against it, the disease will not spread to anyone else.

The Mumps virus seems to have been around since ancient times. Research says that the virus has been documented or recorded by the Hippocrates in 5th century BCE (Mumps Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases). We give credit to Johnson and Goodpasture for helping determine how the virus is spread. This particular virus has been and still is known worldwide but became a reportable disease in the United States in 1968. The history behind the Mumps is not very detailed but today we are able to prevent this disease here in the US.

An outbreak of the measles in the United States has sparked controversy in the autism world today. Contrary to previous theories, the measles vaccination is not a leading component to the cause of this disease. One in sixty-eight children in the United States are entering this world with Autistic Spectrum Disorder today, a thirty percent increase from the one in eighty eight

2. Get vaccinated. Before traveling internationally, getting vaccinated will highly increase your immunization and reduce your chances of getting a disease.

In December of 2014, an outbreak of measles, which started in Disneyland, resulted in nearly two hundred people being sickened across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The highly contagious respiratory disease spread for three months. Among those who contracted the illness, one developed severe pneumonia and multiple organ injury, while another suffered acute respiratory distress syndrome. So, why did an illness, which was purportedly eliminated sixteen years ago, experience a surge so dramatic that it caused more cases in 2014 than in the five preceding years combined? According to the CDC, the outbreak could be boiled down to one simple reason: “The majority of people were unvaccinated.” So while the California measles outbreak is a thing of the past, the fight to increase compliance with vaccinations continues. Although the benefits and safety of vaccinations are undisputed by the medical and scientific community, there are still sizeable groups of “anti-vaxxers” who refuse to vaccinate their children. These groups spread misconceptions, sometimes unknowingly, and become even more influential when coupled with the power of the internet and social media. Therefore, in order to increase compliance with routine vaccinations, the misconceptions of parents should be targeted, and legislation should be changed in order to prevent leniency and loopholes regarding vaccine exemptions.

Measles is an airborne disease that is spread through respiration (contact with fluids from an infected person's nose and mouth, either directly or through aerosol transmission (coughing or sneezing)), and is highly contagious—90% of people without immunity sharing living space with an infected person will catch it.[4] An asymptomatic incubation period occurs nine to twelve days from initial exposure. The period of infectivity has not been definitively established, some saying it lasts from two to four days prior, until two to five days following the onset of the rash (i.e., four to nine days infectivity in total), whereas others say it lasts from two to four days prior until the complete disappearance of the rash. The rash usually appears

     Other then vaccination, some basic treatment is: stay at home, drink fluids, take anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin or ibuprofen), decongestants, cough medicine, gargles, lozenges, or await a natural treatment.
