South Carolina’s Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) has issued a warning to those who have visited Clemson University recently. Authorities are warning all people who visited the university between November 21 and November 29, 2018, that they may have been exposed to mumps.
Fox Carolina has reported that a confirmed case of mumps was recorded connected to Clemson University. And while those that have been immunized with the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine are less at risk, authorities are also urging those who have been vaccinated to still be on the alert for mumps symptoms.
WYFF Greenfield reports that DHEC released details of the confirmed case and the effects of mumps via a letter.
“Mumps is a contagious, viral infection that may result in parotitis, or swelling in one or both parotid salivary glands in the cheek and jaw area below the ear,” the letter read.
