Beware of MUMPS!

Just got a text from the NU Alerts system that "4 NU students treated for mumps-like symptoms. Lab tests neg. If you have swelling around neck/jaw, contact UHCS: x2772."

According to Kids Health (Because they explain it in easy to understand terms):

"Mumps is a disease caused by a virus that usually spreads through saliva and can infect many parts of the body, especially the parotid salivary glands. These glands, which produce saliva for the mouth, are found toward the back of each cheek, in the area between the ear and jaw. In cases of mumps, these glands typically swell and become painful.

Because mumps can also involve the brain and its membranes, call the doctor immediately if [you have] any of the following: stiff neck, convulsions (seizures), extreme drowsiness, severe headache, or changes of consciousness. Watch for abdominal pain that can mean involvement of the pancreas in either sex or involvement of the ovaries in girls. In boys, watch for high fever with pain and swelling of the testicles."

Will update if I hear anything further.
