If smallpox was still "wild" that could be caught by children too.
Mumps and chickenpox are separate illnesses caused by different viruses. Mumps virus does not cause chickenpox, and mumps does not lead to chickenpox.
Bleach solution and other typical disinfectants are more than enough to kill chickenpox virus on surfaces.
Red blood cells are significantly larger than chickenpox virus.
Chickenpox vaccine does not cause shingles directly, but the virus, like naturally-caught virus, stays in the spinal cord and may be reactivated later to cause herpes. The chances are lower with chickenpox vaccine than with chickenpox disease.
Chickenpox is not usually fatal, but is more likely to kill teenagers and adults than it is to kill infants and children (see related link). Deaths and hospitalizations from chickenpox have dropped 90% in the US since introduction of chickenpox vaccine in 1995.
Listen, buddy, NOBODY invented the chickenpox virus if that is what you were asking. Scientists have better things to do than ruin the world. Stay safe! 😄
Study results reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that more than 90% of American adults are immune to the chickenpox virus.
Both animals and penicillin are unrelated to chickenpox. Animals do not get chickenpox, other than humans and a few primates. Penicillin does not cause or cure chickenpox.
Most people get chickenpox when they are young, which is good. Although children can pull through chicken pox easily, if not uncomfortably, it is much more devastating to adults. Plus, once you have it as a kid, the cells go into remission in your body, your B cells produce antibodies for chickenpox, and there's a extremely high chance that you will never get chickenpox again. But you can get it at any age.
Shingles is pretty rare in kids and teens who have healthy immune systems. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox.It's easy to pass the virus on to people who aren't immune to chickenpox (like people who haven't already had chickenpox or gotten the chickenpox vaccine). The difference is that if they get infected, they won't get shingles.
Adults, however, are much more likely than children to suffer dangerous complications. More than half of all chickenpox deaths occur among adults.
The threat is greatest to newborns, who are more at risk of death from chickenpox than any other group.
