Public health officials are warning of possible measles exposure at LAX and Disneyland.

Officials say an international traveler infected with measles passed through LAX’s Tom Bradley International Terminal late January 26th. They then went to Disneyland’s California Adventure on the 28th and then visited a Dunkin’ Donuts in Woodland Hills on the 30th.

L.A. County Public Health’s Dr. Sharon Balter told KNX News’ Karen Adams that there’s a time period before you get yourself sick.

“For measles, this is usually between 10 and 14 days, but it can be as little as 7 days and as long as 21 days,” she said.

The incubation period for measles is one to three weeks. Symptoms include a rash, fever, runny nose, and eyes.
