CHICKEN POX........

   So some of you guys might know I was sick on the last blog and then at the last minute my dad decides he wants to take me to the doctor, WHEN I GOT OVER THE COLD!!!! As you guys might know, my dad is KINDA slow.


   Anyways, today we are going to talk about Chicken Pox. It might not sound very delightful to learn about but, don't you want me to get a good grade. 


   The basic thing about Chicken Pox is that the itches A LOT. Chicken Pox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus or (VZV). It is kinda weird but it's more common for children to get it than adults. The reason why is because, the child's body is not immune to the virus so it can't fight off the virus. If you get the disease when you are a child your body will become immune to the virus so when you become an adult your body will recognize the virus and kill it. 


Vaccines are really helpful. The vaccine that you get gives you little tiny viruses (that are not harmful) of many kinds so your immune system can become immune to them.


         




Some viruses can be Contagious which means the virus can spread to other people that you are around easily.

The chicken pox has an Incubation Period which is a period of time before the symptoms appear, which is 10 to 21 days.


In the incubation period the symptoms don't appear. Symptoms are when you see the marks or signs of the disease. 


Immunity is when your immune system is able to recognize the virus and kill it before it has the ability to do some damage to your body.


A Virus non-living thing that can make you very sick.


Blisters are vesicles on the skin containing watery matter or serum.


When you have the chicken pox you shouldn't use aspirin because it can cause delirium, severe vomiting, convulsions, or a coma. To relieve the itchiness you should take bath in uncooked oatmeal, baking soda, or cornstarch.

OATMEAL!!!

BAKING SODA!!!

   Now just make sure you don't get the chicken pox because it is not fun. But, the good thing about it is that your body is immune to it. I once had chicken pox when I was little IT WASN'T FUN!!!
