A member asked:
Do you think a blood test for mumps is really necessary if there's no treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is a vaccine, and that is worth it. Mumps can lead to infertility and pain, but once the manifestations are there, what's the point? There is a skin test that can define wether you have had exposure to the virus that causes.
