The Nootka, indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest, primarily relied on the rich marine resources available in their coastal environment.

Case study of chickenpox?

If you type in Journal+chicken pox into Google search, you will find many professional journal articles or case studies about chicken pox. But most case studies will give a typical history and development of a child who acquires chicken pox. The child would have been exposed, often in pre-school, kindergarten or in grade school; the child's peers often had chicken pox before or near the same time as a child first becoming ill. A child may have been "fine" one day or slightly feverish, then the classic "pox" sores begin to show. The child should immediately be kept at home and not taken to public places.

The "spots" often start on the trunk-- the chest and back-- but can appear on any skin surface. As more spots show, itchiness often develops. The child may have a low grade fever, aches, and pains. Within a few days, the spots begin to open and weep clear fluid. The fluid contains the virus, so it is the fluid that can spread the disease, and the fluid from mucous membranes (coughing, sneezing). The child should be encouraged to rest and to not scratch. Scratching can cause secondary skin infection and lead to complications. Within about a week to 2 weeks, the sores begin to dry and crust. Usually by then, the child and parents are going stir crazy!

The child can go back to school once the dried sores have begun to fade.

Can you get chickenpox as an adult if you never had them?

Yes, when your a child and you get chickenpox you develop immunity to it because your immune system understands the virus that gives you chickenpox so can battle it with ease.

How close are scientists to finding a cure for chickenpox?

Chickenpox is not my area of expertise. I do, however, happen to know a thing or two about viruses. What I can tell you is that Chickenpox is an infection that is caused by the Varicella Zoster Virus. Viruses are very small organisms that can cause serious infections.

Currently, modern medicine isn't able to cure viruses, only prevent them. In some cases, we are able to develop a "vaccine" against a virus. Vaccines are administered before a person is exposed to infection and often times will help them develop an immunity to disease.

There is currently no cure for Chickenpox, however there has been a vaccine developed.

Can you get chickenpox from someone who has shingles if you had shingles before?

If you had shingles before, that means you had chicken pox already as a child, long before shingles developed. You cannot catch chicken pox from shingles if you already had chicken pox.

Chicken pox is a one-time illness, usually in childhood. It does not matter how "mild" or "bad" the chicken pox is. The body's defenses are activated whether "mild" or "bad" and immunity results. No person acquires chicken pox twice.

Shingles is caused by the same virus but with shingles, the virus is re-activated within the person's own body (not from catching the chicken pox virus from someone else). A person who never had chicken pox cannot get shingles; but that person who never had chicken pox can get chicken pox.

A person who has shingles can infect others with chicken pox, but only if those persons (usually children) never had chicken pox before. If a person with shingles is around a person/child who already had chicken pox, the other people won't get chicken pox or shingles.

The defining factors in shingles are:

  • The person already had chicken pox
  • The person is generally over 50 years old
  • The person may also have a compromised immune system

No, you do not have to have skin to skin contact in order to be infected with chickenpox. You can get chickenpox by breathing in the germs from someones sneeze, cough, skin to skin contact, or touching a surface the infected person has recently touched. Hope this helps. :)

What if you get chickenpox twice?

Chickenpox can happen more than once once (I've seen it happen), but usually it only comes once in a lifetime.

Unfortunately, later in life you can suffer shingles, because chickenpox is caused by a virus which never leaves the body and settles, lying dormant for years, in nerve roots. When your immune system is depressed or weakened, the virus can be reactivated as a shingles infection.

What organism does chickenpox infect?
