Health Hints and Diet This Winter Scarlet Fever Risks
Winter scarlet fever cases rise but modern medicine offers stronger control. The disease mimics diphtheria, often starting with a throat infection and rapid fever. Most patients are children ages five to twelve in contact with another case. Affected individuals experience a two to four day incubation with chills, sore throat, vomiting, rapid pulse, and high fever. A bright red rash appears on the neck and chest and spreads. After a few days the rash fades and the skin peels about ten days to two weeks later. The peeling skin does not spread the illness unless contaminated with nasal or throat secretions. Teeth hair and nails may be affected and shed after scarlet fever.
