Big measles outbreak in North London.

[Spiderhammer]

Barnet is sending letters to parents because there have been nine 'suspected' cases of measles there.

Do any MNers live up that way?

friend's dd in s London just had measles, as have two other children in her immediate area...

Really Dinny? How are they doing? I remember having it as a kid.
Is your friend in London?

not far from there, scary

Does someone want to tell me about measles then? Is it that bad? I just sail through life not knowing about things till they affect me

Im in north London (slightly bodering on Barnet) No reports of measles here - nits, yes but not anythign else

I had measles as a child, lots of my friends did as well. Was a common one then along with all the others.

very poorly (but at home) for about a week, 10 days...

yes, South London

goodness, my two had their single measles jab 3 weeks ago - am glad now!

I am just north of Barnet in Potters Bar and there have been two cases in ds' nursery in the last few weeks .. one of which was a member of staff that had had it when she was 2! Apparently it is possible to get it a second time round .. albeit mildly.
