   Thank you California democrats and your beloved illegal Mexican   
   immigrant trash.   
      
   An outbreak of measles in Orange County, California is the worst   
   health officials have seen in two decades.   
      
   Twenty-one county residents have been diagnosed with measles in   
   2014, including 7 who have been hospitalized, CBS Los Angeles   
   reports.   
      
   "It's very contagious, and what we're trying to do is prevent   
   the exposure and spread," said O.C. Health Deputy Agency   
   Director Eric Handle told the station. "The measles virus can   
   cause inflammation in the brain that can appear immediately, or   
   seven years out."   
      
   Measles is a highly contagious infection that starts with a   
   fever, cough, runny nose and pink eye before progressing to a   
   rash on the face, upper neck that within a few days spreads down   
   to the rest of the body.   
      
   Approximately 20 percent of cases experience more serious   
   complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis, which is a   
   potentially-fatal swelling of the brain.   
      
   The disease is spread through infected droplets from a person's   
   nose, mouth or throat that are dispersed in the air.   
      
   Health officials have set up clinics and urged people who have   
   not been vaccinated to get the MMR vaccine to stop the disease's   
   spread. Officials however warned people experiencing symptoms to   
   speak with their doctors first, because they risk spreading the   
   disease if they show up to vaccination locations without warning.   
   Neighboring counties have also seen an increase in cases in   
   2014, according to officials: Los Angeles County has seen 10   
   cases this year, and Riverside has seen five.   
      
   Recent measles outbreaks have also been reported in San   
   Francisco and New York City, prompting calls for vaccination.   
      
   A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report last   
   December found the highest number of measles cases in the past   
   17 years, with health officials citing philosophical differences   
   with the vaccine for the increase.   
      
   If someone infected comes over from another country where   
   measles cases are more common, unvaccinated people -- especially   
   children younger than 6 months -- are at risk.
