Measles exposure prompts Hawaii health alert after infected traveler visits O‘ahu and Big Island

Hawaii’s Department of Health says a measles case in a vaccinated adult visitor who traveled to O‘ahu and the Big Island has led to exposure alerts at multiple sites on O‘ahu and Hawai‘i Island (including airports, Lā‘ie Temple, Hilo Airport, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and other locations) with dates in late February to early March. People who are not vaccinated should get the MMR vaccine or consult a clinician, and those exposed should contact their healthcare provider promptly; anyone showing symptoms should isolate and seek care.

Are Your Dental Tools Sprouting Microplastics?

Researchers say dental products like nylon toothbrush bristles, plastic floss, and even packaging can shed microplastics, potentially affecting oral microbes, causing inflammation, or damaging DNA, but it’s unclear how much ends up in the body or if it causes health problems. Brushing and flossing remain essential, and there’s no proven nonplastic alternative yet. To limit exposure, brush and floss gently with soft bristles, replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months, keep products away from heat and sun, and spit out toothpaste instead of rinsing, though the overall risk is still uncertain.
