Chickenpox (chicken pox), also known as varicella, is a highly contagious infection caused by the varicella zoster virus. Although uncomfortable, most people recover within 1-2 weeks.
There is a blister-like rash, which first appears on the face and trunk, and then spreads throughout the body. Although not life-threatening, complications can arise.
Fast facts on chickenpox
Here are some key points about chickenpox. More detail is in the main article.
Chickenpox is caused by the varicella zoster virus.
Varicella has an incubation period of 10-21 days.
Chickenpox is highly contagious.
The infection spreads in a similar way to colds and flu.
A diagnosis can normally be reached by observing the signs and symptoms.
Symptoms
chicken pox
The hallmark symptom of chickenpox is a rash.
Before the rash appears, there will be:
a general feeling of being unwell (malaise)
fever, which is usually worse in adults than children
aching muscles
loss of appetite
in some cases, a feeling of nausea
After the rash appears, there will be:
Rash: Severity varies from a few spots to a rash that covers the whole body.
Spots: The spots develop in clusters and generally appear on the face, limbs, chest, and stomach. They tend to be small, red, and itchy.
Blisters: Blisters can develop on the top of the spots. These can become very itchy.
Clouding: Within about 48 hours, the blisters cloud over and start drying out. A crust develops.
Healing: Within about 10 days, the crusts fall off on their own.
During the whole cycle, new waves of spots can appear - in such cases, the patient might have different clusters of spots at varying stages of itchiness, dryness, and crustiness.
Other symptoms
A few people have more severe symptoms.
If the following occur, a doctor should be contacted:
the skin around the spots or blisters becomes painful and red
there are breathing difficulties
Most healthy individuals make a full recovery, as with a cold or flu, by resting and drinking plenty of fluids.

Answer:
Standard precautions are the work practices required to achieve a basic level of infection prevention and control. The use of standard precautions aims to minimise, and where possible, eliminate the risk of transmission of infection, particularly those caused by blood born viruses... blood (including dried blood).
