An international traveler with measles visited two businesses in South Huntsville while contagious**, prompting ADPH to issue an exposure alert. I couldn’t access the article directly, but verified the details through ADPH’s official release. https://www.alabamapublichealth.gov/blog/2026/10/nr-13.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Subway, 7900 Bailey Cove Road | October 4, 5, and 6 | 11:30 a.m.–3 p.m.

Publix, 12796 Bailey Cove Road SE | October 4 | 1–3 p.m.

Anyone present during those times should **check their vaccination status and monitor for symptoms**. Symptoms typically appear 7–14 days after infection and include high fever, cough, runny nose, red or watery eyes, and a rash.

ADPH emphasizes that measles is highly contagious and can cause serious complications, especially in children under 5. Staying current on the MMR vaccine is the best protection; adults unsure of their vaccination status should contact their healthcare provider.

A private laboratory has reported to the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) that an individual has tested positive for measles. The person, an international traveler, visited businesses in the Huntsville/Bailey Cove area while infectious.

🧴 Dry, Itchy, Flaky Scalp? It May Be More Than Dandruff.

Several conditions can cause similar symptoms, including:

🔹 **Dandruff / seborrheic dermatitis** — flaking, itching, and sometimes greasy scales.
🔹 **Dry skin or eczema** — dryness and irritated, itchy patches.
🔹 **Contact dermatitis** — irritation or an allergic reaction to shampoo, hair dye, or other products.
🔹 **Scalp psoriasis** — thicker, scaly patches that may itch or burn.
🔹 **Scalp ringworm** — a fungal infection that can cause scaling, broken hairs, or patchy hair loss.
🔹 **Head lice** — itching with lice or eggs attached to hair strands.

💙 **Finding the cause is the first step toward relief.** ApproXie Urgent Care can evaluate your scalp, recommend appropriate treatment, and help determine whether you need a dermatology referral.

Persistent itching, sores, or hair loss? Come get checked!

🤧 Thought you were getting over that virus… but now you feel worse?

Sometimes a viral infection is just the beginning. After a cold, flu, COVID, or other respiratory virus, some people can develop a **secondary infection** as symptoms evolve.

👂 Ear infection (otitis media): new or worsening ear pain, pressure, or decreased hearing
👃 Sinus infection (sinusitis): worsening facial pressure, sinus pain, thick drainage, or symptoms that improve and then come back
😷 Throat infection/pharyngitis: worsening sore throat, painful swallowing, swollen glands, or fever
🫁 Lower respiratory infection/pneumonia: worsening cough, fever, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or feeling significantly worse

⚠️ Not every lingering symptom means you need an antibiotic. Many respiratory infections are viral and improve with time. But if you were starting to feel better and then suddenly get worse, develop new symptoms, or simply aren’t improving as expected, it may be worth getting checked.
