Kevin Rodriguez+FollowCDC’s Measles Travel Alert: What’s Up?Measles cases are blowing up across the US, and now the CDC says everyone should double-check their vaccine status before any international trip—no matter where you’re headed. Over 1,000 cases have popped up in 33 states this year, and even airports are seeing in-flight transmissions. If you’re not vaccinated, you’re at serious risk. The MMR shot is 97% effective, so if you’re planning to travel (or just want to stay safe), it’s time to get those shots! #MeaslesAlert #CDCWarning #TravelSafe #Health40Share

The CDC says this rare infection is almost always deadly and happens when contaminated water goes up your nose. Only 4 people in the US have survived it since 1962. If you’re rinsing your sinuses, always use distilled or boiled water. Wild, right? #HealthAlert #BrainEatingAmoeba #CDCWarning #Health13149Share
