Sun rays kill chickenpox

Experts from the University of London concluded that people suffer from chickenpox less in areas where there are high levels of ultraviolet radiation.

According to them, sunlight is able to deactivate viruses that are on the skin and prevent them from further entering the body. Chickenpox, or as it is popularly called chickenpox, is an acute viral disease that is spread by airborne droplets and is characterized by blisters on the body.

Scientists studied data from 25 cases of chickenpox in people from around the world and established a connection between the level of ultraviolet radiation and the prevalence of the virus. According to the results of the study, scientists found that, for example, the peak incidence of chickenpox in India and Sri Lanka occurs during the hot season, when due to atmospheric pollution there is less sunlight than during the rainy season.

Experts noted that the spread of chickenpox directly depends on latitude, climate and the level of ultraviolet rays. Thus, in tropical countries, chickenpox is less common and people become more severely infected with it from each other, but the virus is more common in the cold season in countries with a temperate climate, such as the UK.

A study has shown that ultraviolet rays from the sun can prevent the spread of the chickenpox virus by deactivating it on human skin. Thus, we can conclude that the sun and its ultraviolet radiation are an effective natural means of combating chickenpox.
