What Are Measles?
Some diseases are so common that it is highly likely you will catch them at some point in your life. This tends to happen when we are still young because our bodies have not yet learned to protect us against the disease. The majority of these diseases are, thankfully, only fairly mild.
Even mild diseases can cause a lot of deaths, however, if they are able to infect a lot of people. Measles is one such example of a disease that used to be widespread all over the planet. It can affect both adults and children, and it will be very dangerous indeed to a very small percentage of the population.
