Glastonbury warning over ‘highly infectious' disease as health officials urge festival-goers to take precautions
PEOPLE heading to Glastonbury and other festivals this year have been warned of about a "circulating" infection amid ongoing outbreaks across Europe. With thousands set to head to Worthy Farm for the UK's biggest music festival, from June 25 to June 2, health officials are urging those attending to take precautions. 4 4 The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has warned measles is "circulating across the country" - with case numbers particularly high in the South West. In its latest report, the UKHSA confirmed 109 cases of the Victorian-era disease were recorded in April and 86 in May. And unvaccinated children aged 10 years and under have been the worst hit. Families going abroad for their summer holidays this year, and people mixing in large crowds at festivals, has raised fears of another surge of measles cases across the country. Dr Alasdair Wood, consultant in Health Protection at UKHSA South West, told ITV News: "We want festival-goers to enjoy their time at Glastonbury and other festivals this year. "Being aware of the current health risks will help those attending enjoy their time, as much as possible. "Measles is circulating across the country, and festivals are the perfect place for measles to spread. "If you're not fully vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella, please contact your GP to see if you can get an appointment before coming to the festival. "If you feel unwell or have been advised isolate as a result of measles or another infection, please continue to do so." Measles is a serious illness that can cause complications in some people, particularly younger children, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems. Powerful new video urges all parents to protect their children from surge of deadly Victorian disease as millions 'at risk' Most people with measles see it resolve on its own. But serious complications include pneumonia, encephalitis (brain inflammation), or even death. The virus is spread when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes, says the NHS. And you're infectious from when you first have symptoms (around four days before the rash appears) until four days after you get the rash. Measles usually starts with cold-like symptoms, such as a high temperature, runny nose, sneezing, and a cough, followed by a rash a few days later. Some people may also get small spots in their mouth. 4 4 A few days after the cold-like symptoms, a rash usually appears. The rash starts on the face and behind the ears before spreading to the rest of the body. Spots are sometimes raised and join together, and aren't usually itchy. The most effective way to protect yourself and others from measles is through vaccination with the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. Two doses of the MMR vaccine offer lifelong protection. In the UK, children are typically offered the first dose at 12 months old and the second at three years and four months. If you get measles, it's crucial to rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen to manage symptoms. You should also stay home to prevent spreading the infection, as measles is highly contagious. Seek immediate medical attention if you or your child experience difficulty breathing, seizures, confusion, decreased alertness, or signs of severe dehydration. Other warning signs include severe vomiting or diarrhoea, chest pain, neck stiffness, or a rash that doesn't fade when pressed. Expert answers MMR questions TO help deal with parental concerns, Professor Helen Bedford, a specialist in child public health at University College London, tells you all you need to know about the MMR vaccine. When is the vaccine given? The MMR vaccine is part of the NHS Routine Childhood Immunisation Programme. It's typically given via a single shot into the muscle of the thigh or the upper arm. The first dose is offered to children at the age of one (babies younger than this may have some protection from antibodies passed on from their mother, which start to wear off at about 12 months.) The second dose is then offered to children aged three years and four months before they start school. To check to see if you or your child have had the recommended two doses of MMR, you can look at their/your Personal Child Health Record, also known as the red book. If you can't find the red book, call your GP and ask them for your vaccine records. You are never too old to catch up with your MMR vaccine. If you see from your vaccination records that you did not receive two doses as a child, you can book a vaccination appointment. Is the vaccine safe? The MMR vaccine is safe and effective at preventing measles, mumps and rubella. In the UK, we started using the jab in 1988, so we have decades of experience using it. The jab is made from much-weakened live versions of the three viruses. This triggers the immune system to produce antibodies that are protective in the face of future exposure. It takes up to three weeks after having the vaccine to be fully protected. Like any vaccine, the MMR jab can cause side-effects, which are usually mild and go away very quickly. This includes rash, high temperature, loss of appetite and a general feeling of being unwell for about two or three days. There is also a very small chance children can have a severe allergic reaction. But compared to the complications of measles, there is no contest that vaccination is by far the safest and most effective route to take. Why was it linked with autism? In 1998, Andrew Wakefield and his colleagues published a now-discredited paper in medical journal The Lancet. The paper suggested that the MMR vaccine might be associated with autism and a form of bowel disease. It led to a sharp decline in vaccination rates. Even at the time, the research was considered poor. The Lancet retracted the story in 2010 after Wakefield's article was found 'dishonest' by the General Medical Council. He was later struck off and subsequently, in 2011, the British Medical Journal declared the story fraudulent. Does it contain ingredients from pigs? There are two types of MMR jabs: One with gelatin (animal/pig collagen), and one without it. For some religious groups, the inclusion of pig products is not acceptable. Those people should ask for the vaccine without gelatin.

Lidl is launching £4.99 pet essential that will keep your dog cool while relaxing on the patio this summer
AS temperatures continue to soar, it can be difficult for your pooch to spend time outside. However, a budget-friendly Lidl buy can help to keep your dog cool all summer long. 2 You can help your furry friend relax in the hot weather with this handy item. Simply place it on your patio or outdoor area and your pup is sure to be drawn to it. The Zoofari Rectangular Dog Cooling Mat will be available for £4.99 from the middle aisle. Made with recycled materials, this handy mat requires no additional cooling. Simply lay out the mat and don't worry about placing it in your fridge or freezer beforehand. This item doesn't need an power or extra water to keep your pet cool this summer. In fact, you don't even need to switch it on, just have your dog lie down on it. According to manufacturers, the mat provides a "cooling effect for several hours when there's dog body contact". And it will even be ready to use again by your pooch after "just a short break". The product has been described as "versatile" and can be used on beds and in kennels. I transformed my garden patio into summer haven for less than £100 with cheap B&M buys including gadget to keep bugs out This mat measures 50 centimetres by 90 centimetres and can be easily stored after rolling. And as with most Lidl middle aisle buys, this item comes with a three-year warranty. The cooling mat will hit the middle aisle from Sunday, June 22. The animal experts at the USPCA broke down the importance of keeping your pets cool and comfortable during the summer. "Dogs can develop heat stroke quickly and can be fatal," they explained. Dog breeds most susceptible to overheating In general, there are six groups of dogs who struggle most in hot weather... Firstly, those with underlying health problems. Dogs can't sweat like we can, so rely largely on panting to cool down. However, if they have airway or lung impairments, or suffer from fluid balance or hydration issues, then this is more difficult, and their ability to lose heat is reduced, meaning they are at a higher risk of heat-stroke. Overweight animals find it harder to ventilate, and their core temperature rises faster than you'd expect for a lean dog. Very young dogs or very old dogs are also at increased risk of heatstroke, and these owners should be even more cautious in hot weather. Dogs with very thick coats, who are adapted to a colder climate. Dogs such as the Husky or Malamute - and even the Chow Chow - have been bred to keep heat in. However, this comes at the price of being less well able to cope in hot weather. Their thick double coats effectively trap heat, making it the equivalent of us going out in the July heat wearing a fur coat and thermal underwear: they get very hot, very quickly. This problem can be alleviated by clipping (NOT shaving), however, the coat can take a long time to grow back. In a heatwave, though, if you're struggling to keep your dog cool, I'd personally rather have a dog with a thinner coat who's alive than a luxuriously coated dog in the morgue. Short-nosed, or brachycephalic, breeds such as Pugs, Bulldogs, and French Bulldogs. These dogs have been bred to look "cute", with big eyes and flat faces. Unfortunately, the result of this has been a narrowing of the airways and a profusion of soft tissue in the nasal chambers and pharynx - we call this Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome, and it profoundly affects their ability to pant and lose heat. Like a dog with any other respiratory disease, most members of these breeds are highly prone to heatstroke, and as they are often overweight as well, are at very high risk in hot weather. "It is vital that owners ensure their dog has access to water and cool shaded areas to rest at all times. "It's also important you monitor your dog throughout the day to check changes in their behaviour." They recommended making use of cooling mats to ensure your pooch doesn't overheat. "A cooling mat is great in order to lower your dogs temperature," they explained. "The cooling pad absorbs heat from the dogs body and releases it into the environment." Aldi is also selling a budget buy that will help keep your pooch cool this summer.
