Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral disease that is not dangerous but can cause serious problems for those in high-risk groups. It is most commonly found in childhood and is transmitted through airborne droplets. The first symptoms of the disease include fever, weakness, and headache. Afterward, itchy rashes appear on the skin.
