Here's more info mrom Wiki for you:\nSymptoms of malaria include fever, shivering, arthralgia (joint pain), vomiting, anaemia caused by haemolysis, haemoglobinuria, and convulsions. There may be the feeling of tingling in the skin, particularly with malaria caused by P. falciparum. Consequences of infection with malaria include coma and death if untreated—young children and pregnant women are especially vulnerable. Splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), severe headache, cerebral ischemia and hemoglobinuria with renal failure may occur.\n[edit]\n\nMosquitoes\n\nOnly females feed on blood, thus males do not transmit the disease. The Anopheles species prefer to feed at night. They usually start searching for a meal at dusk, and will continue throughout the night until taking a meal. Young mosquitoes first ingest the malaria parasite by feeding on a human carrier. Infected female Anopheles mosquitoes carry Plasmodium sporozoites in their salivary glands.\n[edit]\n\nThe malarial parasite\n\nWhen an infected mosquito pierces a person's skin to take a blood meal, the sporozoites in the mosquito's saliva enter the bloodstream and migrate to the liver. There they hide within liver cells and multiply asexually for a period of 6 to 15 days. Within the liver cells the parasite differentiates to produce hundreds or thousands of merozoites which, following rupture of the cell, are released into the blood stream and invade red blood cells.\n\nIf a mosquito pierces the skin of an infected person, it potentially picks up gametocytes with the blood, fertilization occurs in the mosquito's gut which means the mosquito is the definitive host of the disease. New sporozoites develop and travel to the mosquito's salivary gland, completing the cycle. Pregnant women are especially attractive to the mosquitoes, and malaria in pregnant women is an important cause of stillbirths, infant mortality and low birth weight.

I think chicken-pox scars are the kind that are permanent. But using vitamin E can't hurt.

Generally speaking, once you have had chicken pox you will not get it again...however, if the exposure/case of chicken pox you had was minimal, there is a chance you may get it again.(chicken pox that is.)  Now, chicken pox is caused by Vericella (not the correct spelling)which is a virus I think...this can come back years later and cause Shingles which is a very painful condition that effects your nerves.\n\nEither way, if you suspect this, you need to see a doctor...the older you get past childhood, Chicken pox can be very serious and cause a type of pneumonia that can lead to death...get it checked out!

not long, chicken pox may last a week at most, for some 2-3.  but you shouldn't miss too many days.

you have nothing to worry about. if a chicken comes down with H5N1 it will be culled as current policy holds. and dont worry, so will every other chicken within a certain radius. The virus dont stay in the chicken for long after death. its spread by its poo anyway. And then additionally you'll be cooking it anyway, so yeah, no worrys. eat away

I've had eczema for many years. I get it on my hands and feet mostly. Tiny little blisters from scratching. . The itch can be totally unbearable. Scratching also pops the blisters and the more you scratch the worse it seems to get. There are creams that you can get from your DR. That will help. \nChicken pox usually starts with a fever and not feeling well. and is all over your body. The rash usually last about 10days. And itches just as bad. Take her to the DR. if your really not sure.

If your mother already had chicken pox, then you visiting isn't a problem.  If she hasn't, yes, you could feasibly pass it on through close contact.  Regardless, when you do visit, wash your hands thoroughly prior to entering her room, and avoid close contact if possible.\n\nAlso, do not bring your son anywhere near the hospital.  Regardless of your mother's condition, he could make other patients, staff, and/or visitors very ill.

to prevent scars, all u need to do is to not scratch the red swellings and i highly doubt u need to avoid chickens and eggs. dont worry, the chicken pox should subside soon :)

About 100 people in the US were reported to die from chicken pox in 2002, either directly or from diseases subsequent to pox.  It can be a problem in susceptible populations, and a vaccine is available (but expensive, i just got it).  Generally if you get it as a kid you are fine for the rest of your life.  If you get it as an adult, it can be potentially life threatening, esp if you are immunocompromised or elderly.

I have never heard anyone around me having it twice. And according to wikipedia,\n\n"Chickenpox has a two-week incubation period and is highly contagious by air transmission two days before symptoms appear. Therefore, chickenpox spreads quickly through schools and other places of close contact. Once someone has been infected with the disease, they usually develop protective immunity for life. It is fairly rare to get the chickenpox multiple times, but it is possible for people with irregular immune systems. As the disease is more severe if contracted by an adult, parents have been known to ensure their children become infected before adulthood."

It depends if they have the chicken pox vaccine. There is still a chance they may get chicken pox if they come in contact with someone with shingles. \n\nI know someone who had shingles and came in indirect contact with a child who had the vaccine...3 weeks later the child broke out with chicken pox.\n\nIt's safest to keep the person with shingles away from kids.

When the mosquito stabs her needle-like mouthparts through the skin of her victim, she injects her saliva -- teeming with digestive enzymes and anticoagulants. The first time a person is bitten, there is no reaction. With subsequent bites, the person becomes sensitized to the foreign proteins, and small, itchy, red bumps appear about 24 hours later. This is the most common reaction in young children. After many more bites, a pale, swollen hive, or wheal, begins to appear within minutes after a bite -- followed by the red bump 24 hours later. This is the most common reaction in older children and adolescents.\n\nWith repeated mosquito bites, some people begin to become insensitive again, much as if they had allergy shots. Some older children and adults get no reaction to mosquito bites (unless they go for a long time without being bitten -- then the process can start again). Other people become increasingly allergic with repeated stings. They can develop blistering, bruised, large inflammatory reactions. For these people, avoiding being bitten is a particularly good idea.\n\n \nAlan Greene MD FAAP

I'm a physician assistant and have an answer for you.\nShingles is a virus that is also a part of the chicken pox virus. When you are young you get chicken pox, when you are old you get shingles from the same virus. Unfortunately, your doctor is right, it can't be cured. It comes about in times of stress and is pretty painful. There is a medication called Acyclovir that can prevent the outbreaks before they get bad. Usually you begin taking the mediation when you feel an episode come on (tingling sensation or mild pain where the outbreak is going to occur) and it prevents the outbreak from progressing to a painful situation. If i were you, i would ask your doctor or Physician Assistant about Acyclovir. We prescribe it frequently for people with exactly the same problem. hope that helped!

Sounds like chicken pox to me my daughter had them when she was about 3 and only had two on her face.I would take her to the doctor just to be on the safe side.

Chicken pox usually starts with a rash on the body and face that rapidly turns to blisters with clear fluid then to pus filled blisters.  You probably have an allergy or perhaps flea bites.
