How to Throw a Measles Party to Remember

A MAHA mom’s guide
by Francesca Fiorentini March 28, 2025

In the year 2000, America bid an NSYNC “Bye Bye Bye” to the measles, the infectious disease that killed 400 to 500 Americans and infected three to four million each year back in the 1950s ...

As a wife, mother to two not-fat homeschooled children, and best-selling author of the book Cod Liver: It’s What’s for Dinner, I want to speak to other women currently draped in an alpaca shawl on how to throw a totally adorable party for deliberately infecting your child with a life-threatening disease.

The key to a good measles party is having plenty of beverages to soothe that dry hack and rehydrate after ALL the diarrhea. Think raw milk, fluoride-free water, apple cider vinegar, and of course, urine. But instead of cups, opt for a trough so that the guests can lap up their liquids while also sharing as many germs as possible ...

Because of encephalitis, make sure party games are super-simple. Here are some suggestions: Guess the Spots on Jackie, or Pin the IV on the Patient, or Lick Your Neighbor. For gifts, each child can decorate a jar they’ve brought from home, cough into it, and pass it to the kid on their left. Everyone leaves with something! Mostly measles ...

used to take us whatever house had whatever disease at the time. I thought I'd had them all until I got pregnant with my daughter, they told me I never had the German measles. I didn't understand that at the time. Years later it dawned on me that she might have been pregnant when they were spreading that though our neighborhood.
Ah the good old days

And she was in the medical profession. I remember going to my cousin's house when she had measles and we had to lick a spoon after she did. Later on when I got chicken pox I wondered why and asked her about the practice.
