In America they have Measles parties. Basically, if a kid in the area gets infected, all the parents take their kids to the infected kids house so that their child get measles. With normal nutrition, measles is a weak disease, and when a child catches it, it's pretty harmless. If an adult catches it.....it's much more dangerous. Once you've caught it, you're immune (unless you get German Measles, or they get you). Same with mumps. As a kid....pretty safe. As an adult....pretty unsafe.
