Measles Resurfaces in Maryland | Baltimore News

Measles is back in Maryland with two new cases linked to travelers from an outbreak zone, pushing the annual total to eleven — a sharp jump from just one case last year. Health officials are warning anyone who visited a feed store in Mechanicsville, an urgent care in Charlotte Hall, or MedStar St. Mary’s ER in Leonardtown between mid and late July to watch for symptoms. Measles is highly contagious, can linger in the air or on surfaces, and symptoms may appear up to three weeks after exposure — with contagiousness starting before the rash even shows. With over 2,000 cases already reported nationally this year, staying alert and monitoring for signs is key. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
