What Are The Measles? The measles is a highly contagious airborne virus
which spreads primarily through the respiratory system. The infection is
passed by contact with droplets from the nose, mouth, or throat of an infected
person. Coughing will place contaminated droplets into the air. Symptoms
typically begin 8 - 12 days once you’re exposed to the virus. A
measles rash typically starts on the top and spreads to alternative areas,
moving down the body. Humans are the only known natural hosts of
measles, although the virus can infect some non-human primate species.
There is no specific treatment or
antiviral therapy for uncomplicated measles. Most patients with uncomplicated
measles will recover with rest and supportive treatment.
