My wife just told me that about 17 students have come down with mumps. They are fearful that there may be an epidemic. Those who have not received vaccinations have to stay home for 26 days to ride out their illness because the disease is so contagious. More below:

I had Mumps way back when I was around 5 years of age. Could I get it again or have I built up an immunity?

I honestly can't tell you. This requires more research.

I and many people my age had mumps as kids. Mine was no big deal, though I know there can be complications.

I'd quite forgotten about mumps, one of those things just waiting to burst out when you think everything is okay
