Answers:
Measles causes severe cold-like symptoms, high fever, and a distinct red rash . When adults get the disease, they usually have more severe symptoms than children who get the disease.
The incubation period—the time between when you are first exposed to the measles virus and when you develop symptoms—is usually about 8 to 12 days, although it can range between 7 to 18 days. People who are infected with the virus can pass it to others for about 4 days before they get a rash. They can continue to transmit the virus for about 4 more days after the rash first appears.
