Measles, also called rubeola, is caused by a virus that spreads easily through the air and settles on surfaces. Symptoms, which show up about one to two weeks after getting infected, include fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes, and a telltale rash that starts on the face and neck, then spreads to the rest of the body. Most people recover from measles, but sometimes it can cause serious complications and can even be fatal. Learn more about measles from a Mayo Clinic expert: https://mayocl.in/4g
