Important details you need to know about Chickenpox.

Question:
How does chickenpox start?

Answer:
Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which spreads through direct contact with the mucus or saliva of an infected person. A person can also get chickenpox by coming into contact with the fluid from chickenpox blisters. Once a person is infected, the virus incubates for 10 to 21 days before the person starts showing symptoms. The first symptoms are usually a fever, a headache, and a loss of appetite. Within a few days, a red rash appears and blisters start to form. 

Question:
How do they prevent it and cure it?

Answer:
To prevent chickenpox, the best option is to get vaccinated with the varicella vaccine. This vaccine is usually given to children, but adults who have never had chickenpox or received the vaccine can also get it. If someone does get chickenpox, the most common treatment is to let the infection run its course, but the doctor may prescribe medication to ease the symptoms. For children, calamine lotion may be used to soothe the itching. In severe cases, the doctor may prescribe antiviral medication. 

Question:
Is chickenpox airborne and does calamine lotion work for adults as well?

Answer:
Chickenpox is contagious and can spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It can also be spread by direct contact with the rash or through touching contaminated items like bedding, towels, or clothing. Calamine lotion can help relieve itching for adults and children alike, but it is important to follow the instructions on the label carefully. Adults should also consider taking a lukewarm bath with baking soda or colloidal oatmeal to help reduce itching. 

Question:
Does taking chickenpox vaccine work for someone that already have it?

Answer:
The varicella vaccine is not effective for someone who already has chickenpox. The vaccine is given to prevent chickenpox, but it is not a treatment for the infection. If a person has already been exposed to the virus, the vaccine will not help prevent the disease. However, once a person has had chickenpox, they are usually immune to getting it again, so they do not need to be vaccinated. 

Question:
A person who's gotten chicken pox once is unlikely to have it again even when they come in contact with someone that has it or if the fluid from the chickenpox blister should touch them they can't get affected or not?

Answer:
That's absolutely correct! Once a person has had chickenpox, their body develops antibodies that protect them from future infections. This is known as "natural immunity." So even if they come into contact with someone who has chickenpox, or even if the fluid from a chickenpox blister touches them, they will not get sick again. This natural immunity can last for many years, but it is not lifelong. In rare cases, people can get chickenpox again later in life. 

Question:
Why is it so and does the vaccine do the same?

Answer:
The reason why natural immunity to chickenpox isn't lifelong is because the antibodies produced by the body gradually fade over time. The varicella vaccine, on the other hand, provides long-term protection by triggering the body to produce its own antibodies against the virus. Studies have shown that the protection provided by the vaccine can last for more than 20 years. So, while natural immunity may fade over time, the protection provided by the vaccine can last much longer.

Gnostic Cosmology

In Gnostic cosmology, the concept of a structured angelic hierarchy is different from that in traditional Christian angelology. Gnosticism focuses more on Aeons and Archons rather than a traditional angelic hierarchy. The beings in Gnostic cosmology are often tied to the Pleroma (the divine fullness) or the Demiurge (a lesser god who created the material world). Here’s a simplified breakdown of important spiritual entities in Gnosticism, though they don’t exactly follow a strict hierarchical order like in traditional Christianity: 1. Aeons (Emanations from the Monad)    - Aeons are divine emanations that exist in pairs, also known as Syzygies. They reside in the Pleroma and represent various aspects of the divine mind.    - Some important Aeons include:      - Barbelo: Often considered the first emanation or thought of the Monad, representing divine forethought.      - Sophia: Represents wisdom and plays a crucial role in many Gnostic my...

HOW THE UNIVERSE WORKS

The world we live in works in different ways, but in other to understand the world we live in, we must first understand the universe that gave birth to this World. It has come to my knowledge and understanding that not even the so called scientist knows how the world works neither do they understand the fabric of reality itself, time and matter does really play an important role in the cosmos. How does the world works? How did it came to be? Are there other worlds like ours? Is time travel real? Can humans manipulate the fabric of our reality? Or are there extraterrestrial lives out there? All these questions need answers to our problem, we humans are insatiable and ever wanting to know more about our universe. But here’s a quick question can we really go beyond our universe to see exactly what it looks like? How far are we to the edge of existence itself? Well the truth is, there are non which could give us a clue of how the universe work, cause the universe abides by cosmic rules and...
