6. Although measles was once a common childhood disease, it is |
|
potentially lethal.
A classmate of mine lost her two-year-old sister to measles in the days before vaccines, and when I had it at age 9, it was by far the worst illness of my life before or since. Children with measles had to be kept in darkened rooms because of fear of eye damage.
