Everything You Need to Know about Chicken Pox and Shingles

by Jennifer Plum and Jennifer Plumb

It is estimated that four million people each year become infected with the chicken pox virus. While most people think of chicken pox as a childhood disease that you get once, the virus can resurface many years later in the form of shingles, a very painful disease. This book discusses these facts, as well as outlining how chicken pox spreads, what the symptoms are, and what treatments are available.
