Chicken pox is a common childhood skin illness caused by a virus. A virus called varicella zoster causes Chicken pox. People who get infected with this virus, frequently rashes or spots develop on their whole skin that looks like blisters. These blisters can develop anywhere on skin and they are of different size and shape. These blisters of chickenpox are very itchy. In most of the cases high fever with cough and runny nose come along with Blisters. Mainly people contract chickenpox under the age of 15, and the majority get infected between ages 5 to 10, but it can infect people of all ages. Chickenpox is more severe in case of adults and young infants than kids. Spring and winter are the most common times for chicken pox to arise. But the best part is that chickenpox is a normal sickness for children and most of the people recover by just resting like one do in case of cold or the flu. And now days because of chickenpox vaccination, most of kids don't get chickenpox at all.
Chickenpox is extremely contagious (transmittable). It is simply passed among school classmates and members of families through airborne particles, drops from breathe out air and liquid released from the blisters. It can also transmitted indirectly by contact with used cloths of patient and other stuffs exposed to fresh drainage from open blisters. Patients are infectious up to five days (normally initial, one to two days are most risky) and infection started from the day first rash appears on body. When the blisters dry, the person is generally no longer contagious.
