Smallpox?chickenpox?!


Question:

Smallpox?chickenpox?

I don't know if my cousin's illness is a chickenpox or a smallpox. but he is isolated in their house from the day that they knew that he had such disease.

My aunt visits us because she said something or have done something here. She gave me money and i get the money from her.


my question is:

obviously, she doesn't have chickenpox/smallpox because i think she had this illness when she was still a child or so, so she will not be infected by that. but, i am afraid if she still carries the virus? because she takes care of my cousin and maybe has direct contact with him. and i touched the money that she has touched.

am i already infected? please help me. i am really worried


Answers:

Smallpox has been eradicated. No smallpox in humans exit today. That is ruled out.

You do not give enough information to pinpoint chickenpox, measles, or any other infectious disease with rash.

Find out what your cousin's illness is and take proper precautions for that disease.
Wash your hands with soap and water.

Touching money does not infect you automatically even if it is a disease that can be transmitted by objects.

Rather than be anxious about the unknown find the specific illness name and means of transmission.
