01:29	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on bridging the digital divide.
01:34	Here we will talk about chickenpox, its symptoms, causes and the Do’s and Don’ts.
01:42	Let us first see what chickenpox is.
01:46	Chickenpox is a viral infection in which one develops itchy blisters on the body.
01:53	Chickenpox vaccine works very well in preventing the disease.
01:58	Small number of people who take the vaccine may still get chickenpox.
02:03	But they usually have a milder case.
02:06	Generally, chickenpox is mild and not life-threatening.
02:10	But, sometimes it is severe and one needs to be in the hospital, or can even die.
02:18	Chickenpox can affect
02:20	* pregnant women,
02:22	newborn babies,
02:25	teens and adults, and
02:28	people who have low immune systems.
02:32	Once you have had chickenpox, generally the virus does not re-emerge.
02:38	If one gets chickenpox for a second time, it is called shingles.
02:45	Let us now see some symptoms of chickenpox.
02:50	A fever that lasts longer than 2 days
02:54	Red, warm, and sore skin
02:58	Severe itching that cannot be relieved by home treatment

03:13	Chickenpox blisters form in 3-5 days and crust in 7-10 days
03:22	It gets contagious within 1-2 days of its occurrence.
03:27	It remains contagious until all the blisters have crusted over

03:39	Let us now see the causes of chickenpox.
03:43	You can get chickenpox by
03:47	* touching the fluids from a chickenpox blister, or
03:52	* if someone with the disease coughs or sneezes near you
03:57	Risk is greater if you
04:00	* have never had chickenpox before and
04:03	* If you have not taken the chickenpox vaccine either.
04:08	Now, let us see what we should do when we get chickenpox.

04:20	Eat a light meal. Home cooked food is advised.
04:26	Bath in cool or lukewarm water every 3 to 4 hours for the first few days.
