What people still misunderstand how to prevent chicken pox is using condoms Although condoms can prevent many STDs But condoms still do not protect against chicken pox. Prevention should therefore avoid close contact with people who have symptoms of fever, rash, blisters, pustules around the body. Not having sex or close contact with strangers or who have no previous history. Wear a mask when in close contact with others. Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol gel. Do not share personal items with others. clean cooked food Avoid going to crowded places or traveling to countries with outbreaks of smallpox.
