A Southwest Airlines passenger from Texas may have exposed other passengers to the measles, according to local health officials. 

The passenger, from North Texas, is said to have caught connecting flights in Houston's William P. Hobby Airport on August 21 and 22.

Officials stated that the traveler flew on Flight 5 from Dallas Love to Houston Hobby on August 21. That same day, the passenger caught Flight 9 from Houston Hobby to Harlingen.

The next day, the passenger caught Flight 665 from Harlingen to Houston Hobby. The next flight was number 44 from Houston Hobby to Dallas Love. 

Houston Health Department officials explained that they are working to get in contact with the passengers who may have been exposed to the traveler and to the virus. 

Already contagious, the passenger did not leave the airport while flying

Measels can be prevented by vaccines but are highly contagious if left unchecked. The virus lives in the nose and throat and spreads though coughs and sneezes.

'People at the airport are at a much lower risk of exposure than passengers on the flights with the patient,' explained Dr. David Persse, of the Houston Health Department Local Health Authority. 

'That's why our focus is on directly contacting the passengers to notify them of the risk, inquire about their vaccination status and make sure they monitor for symptoms and seek medical attention if necessary.'

Rash, high fever, cough, runny nose and irritated eyes are just some of the symptoms of the virus. 

According to health officials, passengers could develop symptoms as late as September 12. 

'This serves as a reminder about the importance of proper vaccination,' Persse added. 'The vaccine is safe and effective.' 

Southwest Airlines released a statement that said: 'Our Safety and Security groups worked with the CDC to support the agency's work in reaching our customers who traveled onboard four intra-Texas flights last week (details below) with a passenger later diagnosed with measles

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
