Chicken Pox

Chicken pox has nothing to do with chickens. It is a disease that usually affects kids. But don’t worry. Chicken pox will make you itch, but it won’t hurt you.
Chicken pox has been around for hundreds of years. If you get it, you will have a fever. You will also have sores on your body. These sores itch!
You can catch chicken pox through the air. This is why it spreads through schools so quickly. It is important to cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze and to wash your hands.
Now you can get a shot to prevent chicken pox. But if you do get this disease, it won’t last long. You can take a bath in oatmeal. This will stop the itching!
