The windmill is a consequence of a virus from a virus-zone, penetrating the respiratory way, that is, a person inhales this virus.
How can I get a windmill
The source of infection is only patients with windmill, and only they, since this type of virus is not adapted to the external environment and dies literally in a few minutes after it comes out of the body. It should also be noted that the source of infection is only the person who has a windmill is in active form. The active form of the windmill begins for the 2nd day before the first rash appears on the body. Well, here it is worth saying that the likelihood of infected with this virus by a person who did not painl the windmill is equal to almost 100%. That is, if your child has in contact with children or adults who have an active chickenpox phase, then with great confidence it can be said that the child is infected with her.
Windmill: Good or bad
You probably think why at the beginning of the articles we said that the chickenpox for the child is not dangerous, but even useful. Everything lies in the fact that the windmill has a normal course in children and if it is treated correctly, everything will be fine.

The child had a windmill with a windmill, antibodies should work out, which in the future will fight with the manifestation of the activity of the virus of the windshield. By the way, the herpes virus remains in the human body forever, but does not manifest due to the antibodies developed.
Is it possible to get a windmill for the second time
Often parents are interested in: Can there be a windmill for the second time? - Yes, the windmill may be in humans and a second time, but this happens extremely rarely and these cases are an exception.

It is worth noting here and one more kind of wind sieves - listened. Singing lisha - a disease caused by the same virus as the windshnaya case, which is already in the body after the windmill. After the man was overdone the windmill, the wind sperm virus remains in the body and goes into a hidden state while in nervous cells.
