Chickenpox

Yes. Trust me I am going through it right now.

You can only get it once, but it lies dormant in the body and can reactivate later in life as shingles or herpes zoster. More than one reactivation is rare and more than three is extremely rare.

Chickenpox lesions usually show up first on the chest, head, and back. Then it spreads over the body.

No, chickenpox is a scalar, so while it is not a vector in and of itself, it may influence other vectors such as Ebola.

My son had these, We applied Hyrocoritizone each night and started using sensitive skin (liquid) soap during bath or shower. Hope this helps.

Kids that have been vacinated against say chicken pox can in fact still get the chicken pox. This in fact just happened to my neice right before thanksgiving. In Michigan they just upped the dosage of one vaccination to two to decrease the out break of the chicken pox because one dose isn't enough to protect against that strand anymore.

? chicken pox is a disease caused by viruses called the varicella zoster virus (which also causes shingles). viruses are not normally considered organisms because they don't meet all the characteristics of living things.

I honestly wouldn't recommend using it. It may take the look away but it isn't worth it because putting most types of makeup on a shingles rash would irritate the rash even more.

Oral herpes and herpes zooster are slightly different types of herpes.

Oral herpes is what causes cold sores, herpes zooster is what causes chicken pox and shingles.

For oral herpes usually you would get some itching, burning and or tingling symptoms occuring around the out side of the mouth around the lips. Then a pimple / white blister comes up on or around the lips, which then can break into an open sore or larger blister. Cold sores / fever blisters can last any where from 1-4 weeks depending on how sever they are. They can be easily treated with over the counter cold sore creams or antiviral medication.

For oral herpes zooster (shingles in the mouth) you mouth would be in a lot of pain, so much pain that it can prevent you from sleeping which can cause a bunch of other side affects.

Children as a group are more likely to get chickenpox because they are less likely to have had chickenpox previously. Chickenpox is highly contagious, and usually confers lifelong immunity, so adults are likely to be immune. In countries without routine vaccination, 90% of adults are immune to chickenpox due to previous infection.

Facial herpes, or cold sores, is caused by herpes simplex virus. Chickenpox is caused by varicella zoster virus. You can't get chickenpox from someone with facial herpes unless they also have chickenpox.

Approximately 5-14% of adults

with chickenpox develop lung problems, such

as pneumonia. If you smoke, your risk of developing

lung problems is much greater.

No chicken pox is all ways a little itchy. When most people get chicken pox they are so itchy. When my 3 brothers and my sister and I all had chicken pox at the same time their was a lot of scratching are bodes in the house. My sister and 2 of my brothers had to get rushed to the hospital because they had chicken pox in side their bodes. One of my brothers died at the hospital because he had about 100 chicken pox spots in side his body. My brother who had to go to the hospital but did not die now has to use a breathing musheen and has to use a wheel chair to get a round. My sister has to use a feeding tube and is blind and has to use a wheel chair to get a round.

It is advised that pregnant women who haven't had chickenpox and haven't had the vaccine avoid contact with anyone who has chickenpox as it can be fatal to the fetus or can cause birth defects. To be on the safe side I would check with your doctor.
A fetus infected from its mother by Varicella zoster virus may develop pocks that can cause limb deformities early in development.

Natural immunity to chickenpox results from previous infection. There is no other way to be naturally immune to chickenpox. Sometimes, the previous infection may be mild enough that the disease was not noticed.

You can become artificially immune to chickenpox by getting chickenpox vaccine.

Consult with a doctor

Chickenpox virus doesn't cause cold sores. Although the viruses that cause chickenpox and cold sores are similar, herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, and varicella zoster virus causes chickenpox.

Treatment for chickenpox is symptomatic; there's no cure but your immune system normally gets rid of the symptoms on its own. Antiitch remedies and other comfort measures can help. There are really 2 main oils to help get rid of scars left from chicken pox and they are camomile oil and emu oil.

In the US, you may be eligible for unpaid Family and Medical Leave Act time off to care for a child with chickenpox. Ask your human resources department if FMLA applies to your employer.

Chickenpox is an extremely contagious disease, spread by airborne transmission up to two weeks before bumps become visible. I cannot imagine how you have been able to determine that your child wasn't around an infected child unless you live in total isolation without seeing other humans.

Most human illnesses and infections do not transfer to animals, and most animal illnesses and infections do not transfer to humans. You can check with your vet, but you should be safe to pet your dog or cat. However, do wash your hands before and afterwards. Don't let your pet or any person touch the open sores.
No. The virus that causes chicken pox affects humans and a few other primates, such as gorillas. Most viruses, bacterias, fungi etc are species specific. Some of the few that can cross species are ringworm or some of the tick-borne diseases such as Lyme.
A dog can't get chickenpox. Chickenpox only affects humans and a few other primates.
No because Animals can not get illnesses from humans just like humans can not get illnesses from animals

Yes, you can get chickenpox after having measles. Although both are viral infectious diseases that cause rashes, they are caused by different viruses, and a history of one doesn't give immunity to the other.

It usually isn't bad as long as you don't ever get it. It can have worse effects on you if you are older. Some people purposefully get the chicken pox just for that reason. I would just say always get your vaccinations and make sure you stay away from anyone who does have it. See related link
Its actually better to get it when your younger. Im 13 as well and my sis got it today, im probebly going to get it. If u hav it when your older there would probebly be more pain, u can catch it from other people. i think u can get the vaccine, but im not sure because yr older.
if you come into contact with someone who has chicken pox, then you could catch it.
Nothing will happen

Chickenpox is not a reportable disease, so exact numbers are not available, but sampling centers for chickenpox prevalence shows that chickenpox cases in the US have dropped 90-95% since the start of immunization in the 1990s. Prior to the introduction of chickenpox vaccine in 1995, there were about 4 million cases per year. Now the rate is more like 200,000 to 400,000 cases per year. This rate is expected to drop further as more adults have been vaccinated.

There is no cure for chickenpox. Once you get chickenpox, the virus remains in your body for life. Your immune system will help resolve the original chickenpox illness. Antiviral medications can shorten the duration of illness, and are usually reserved for those at high risk for chickenpox complications.

The vaccine for Chicken Pox was developed by Michiaki Takahashi in 1974. It was used in the US since 1995.
