German Measles.

I recently had to fill out a health form at the doctors office. One of the questions asked if I had ever had German Measles. I had the measles when I was a kid so I answered “yes”. But then the next questions ask if I had every had “Hard Measles”.

Since I didn’t know the difference between Hard Measles and German Measles I asked the nurse. She said that German Measles last about 3 days. So then I asked how long Hard Measles last and she said that they lasted longer than 3 days.

Now, that answer was not helpful. First of all, when do measles end; when all of the spots are gone or when the fever is gone? And if I have the spots/fever for 4 days did I have the Hard Measles?

Well, it was all about 50 years ago so I doubt that it really matters.
