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!

水痘與雞無關。這是一種通常影響兒童的疾病。但別擔心。水痘會讓你發(fā)癢，但不會傷害你。

水痘已經存在數(shù)百年了。如果你得了，你會發(fā)燒的。你的身體上也會有瘡。這些瘡癢！

你可以通過空氣感染水痘。這就是為什么它在學校傳播得如此迅速。咳嗽或打噴嚏時捂住嘴并洗手是很重要的。
