Positive Measles Case In Bucks County

After returning from a trip to Texas, a resident of Bucks County has tested positive for the measles. Unfortunately, any customers that came in contact with this person at a local Starbucks might have contracted it, too. There's no way to know for sure until symptoms develop.

Luckily, the person who tested positive for the illness only came down with minor symptoms. Still, everybody's body responds differently, so the symptoms one person develops could be more or less severe than the next person to contract it.

The Health Department in that county has been able to determine that the individual who contracted the illness traveled to quite a few places throughout Bucks County while being contagious. That's why the department felt like it was only right to make the public aware of the possibilities.

Runny nose, swollen red eyes, and a cough all qualify as possible measles symptoms. Experts say that if you've contracted the illness, you'll likely see symptoms within 1.5 to 2 weeks.
