What Is The Chicken Pox?

The Chicken Pox, caused by the varicella-zoster virus, is a very contagious infection that causes itchy outbreaks of skin blisters.  It is most common amongst children, however, teenagers and adults can also get the Chicken Pox in which case it can be extremely severe.

Is The Chicken Pox Dangerous?

Yes, it can be.  There can be complications with the Chicken Pox which can be extremely dangerous.

Complications from Chicken Pox include pneumonia (lung infection), encephalitis (swelling of the brain), and bacterial infections of the skin from scratching. Encephalitis can lead to convulsions, deafness or brain damage.

About 1 in every 3,000 adults with Chicken Pox will die from the infection. Unborn babies whose mothers get Chicken Pox in the middle of the pregnancy may have birth defects.

Please do NOT underestimate the severity of this disease.

How Common Is Chicken Pox?

Almost everyone gets Chicken Pox by adulthood. In the United States, Chicken Pox affects about 4 million persons per year, mostly children. In temperate climates, most cases occur in the late winter and spring.

Although most people think that Chicken Pox is always a mild disease, deaths from Chicken Pox continue to occur in the United States.

What Complications Can Result From Chicken Pox?

Although most people recover from Chicken Pox uneventfully or with a few minor scars, a small percentage suffer more serious complications.

Each year in the United States, 4,000 to 9,000 persons are hospitalized with Chicken Pox, and up to 100 persons die. Those at highest risk for complications are newborns, persons with weakened immune systems, and adults. Although adults make up fewer than 5% of Chicken Pox cases in the United States, they account for half of the deaths from the disease.

The most common complications of Chicken Pox are skin infections and pneumonia. Other complications are encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and hepatitis. Chicken Pox can also lead to severe problems in pregnant women, causing stillbirths, birth defects, or infection of the newborn during childbirth.

Is There A Chicken Pox Vaccine?

Yes, there is.  However, I caution against it.

There have been many studies and research to show that the Chicken Pox vaccine is in fact dangerous, as you’re putting harmful chemicals into your body.  The long-term side effects from this vaccine is stuff unknown.  But, they’ve discovered that the Chicken Pox vaccine causes a dangerous ride in the number of Shingles (herpes zoster) cases for adults.

The best, most safest and effective way is to use NATURAL methods of curing the Chicken Pox.  In my Fast Chicken Pox Cure E-Book, I share many remedies and treatments that cure the Chicken Pox in a safe and natural way.

How Is The Chicken Pox Spread?

The Chicken Pox virus can spread easily from person to person through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It can also be spread through contact with the fluid from Chicken Pox blisters, or the saliva of a person who has Chicken Pox. A pregnant woman with Chicken Pox can give it to her baby before birth.

People with the Chicken Pox can spread the virus to others from up to five days before and five days after the rash appears. They are most contagious from the day before and for the first few days after the rash appears.

To reduce the spread of the Chicken Pox, children with the illness should not attend daycare or school until five days after the rash first appears.

It usually takes two to three weeks for a person to get sick after exposure to the virus. If your child is exposed to the chicken pox, watch for signs of the illness for the next two to three weeks.  Make sure you read through the Fast Chicken Pox Cure E-book to prevent the disease from being serious and for a faster recovery.

What Are The Chicken Pox Symptoms?

The initial symptoms of the Chicken Pox are a mild fever, aches, pains, fatigue, a headache and a loss of appetite. A few days later, a rash appears. Red spots appear first on the face and scalp, and then spread quickly down the body and to the arms and legs.  In some cases the spots can appear inside the mouth and in uncomfortable places.

The spots become very itchy and begin to look like blisters, filled with clear fluid. After another few days, the fluid becomes cloudy, the blisters break, and a crust or scab forms while the skin heals.  In some cases scarring can occur.  During this time, new “crops” of spots appear, form blisters, and then crust over.

Chicken Pox usually lasts from 7-21 days.  Some report of it lasting for longer than a month.

Is There A Chicken Pox Treatment Or Cure?

Yes!  And the best part is that it doesn’t require harmful medication, vaccines or lotions.

I’ve spent years researching the best Chicken Pox remedies, treatments and cures available that are 100% safe and natural.  I’ve interviewed many doctors and studied everything out there.  I’ve begun sharing my knowledge and cures that WORK and are able to cure the Chicken Pox in the fastest way possible.  I compiled all of this in my Fast Chicken Pox Cure E-Book that you can purchase and read through.  The book is filled with tons of remedies, treatments and cures that will work on your child or an adult.

In most cases, you can only get the Chicken Pox once. This is called life-long immunity. But in rare cases, a person might get it again, especially if you were very young when you had it the first time.

What Are Shingles?

The same virus that causes the Chicken Pox causes Shingles (herpes zoster). For some people, the virus can become active again later in life and cause a painful rash called Shingles.

Early symptoms of Shingles include headaches, sensitivity to light, and flu-like symptoms without a fever. You may then feel itching, tingling, or extreme pain in the area where a rash develops several days later. It takes two to four weeks for the blisters to heal, although some scars may remain.

A person who has not had Chicken Pox or the varicella vaccine can get the Chicken Pox virus from contact with the fluid from the Shingles blisters.

Shingles can be known to be extremely dangerous.

Many schools and daycare centres have policies that require children with Chicken Pox to stay home for five days after their rash appears. The goal is to protect other children from the disease. Unfortunately, this does not stop the Chicken Pox from spreading.

Chicken Pox is contagious from 7 days before the rash appears, and most infectious from 12 to 24 hours before the rash appears. It spreads through the air, not just by direct contact with the rash. Exclusion policies (policies that require that your child stay home for a period of time) don’t work because by the time it’s known that a child has Chicken Pox, it has already been passed on to other children.Approximately 90% of persons in a household who have not had Chicken Pox will get it if exposed to an infected family member.
