Show Notes
North Carolina grapples with a measles outbreak, with 25 cases since December 2025. An infected individual visited several Raleigh spots on February 6th, potentially exposing others. Measles is highly contagious, spreading through air and surfaces. Unvaccinated individuals in a room with a sick person have a 90% chance of catching it. Symptoms appear 7-14 days later, including fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a full-body rash. The virus triggers immune amnesia, leaving individuals vulnerable to other infections and vaccines. It lingers in the air for up to two hours and on surfaces, making exposure spots risky even after the person has left. Campus health professionals are urging vaccination as the best defense against measles.
