Detailed explanation-1: -The virus spreads easily from people with chickenpox to others who have never had the disease or never been vaccinated. If one person has it, up to 90% of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected. The virus spreads mainly through close contact with someone who has chickenpox.
Detailed explanation-2: -Try to keep fingernails trimmed short and minimize scratching to prevent the virus from spreading to others and to help prevent skin infections. If you do scratch a blister by accident, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Detailed explanation-3: -The varicella vaccine can be given, even after being exposed to the virus. If you cannot take the varicella vaccine, there is another injection (brand name: varicella immune globulin/VariZIG) that can temporarily protect you from becoming infected.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It can cause an itchy, blister-like rash among other symptoms.
