"Health Officials Investigate Suspected Mumps Outbreak in New Jersey"

Health officials in New Jersey are investigating a mumps outbreak that has affected eight members of a family cluster in Hunterdon County, possibly linked to recent international travel. Mumps, a highly contagious disease, can cause symptoms such as puffy cheeks, swollen jaw, fever, headache, and fatigue.
