What are mumps? Signs and symptoms of the contagious virus

Health officials are warning thousands of people who attended a national cheerleading competition in Texas last month to be on the lookout for signs and symptoms of mumps.

A person with the virus attended the National Cheerleaders Association All-Star National Championship in Fort Worth, which drew crowds from 39 states, between Feb. 23 and Feb. 25. Anyone who was present during that time may have been exposed, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) said in a letter.

No residents in Texas have been reported with the disease as of Tuesday, according to the Dallas News. But that doesn't mean they're in the clear. Here's what you need to know.
