Chicken pox is a contagious disease that can be caught and transmitted by players in Redmont.
Signs and Symptoms
When first infected with chicken pox, a player will feel small itchy red spots appear on their body. This appears as a rash, and gives the player a red glow. They will also get a fever alongside the rash. There is a 75% chance the player will contract itchiness, and a 50% they will feel fatigued. [1]
Causes
Chicken pox is caught by spending time around sick chickens. Once a player is infected with chicken pox, they can spread the disease to other players nearby.
Management
Aciclovir is the main and only treatment for Chicken pox, which can be brewed by a Doctor or Pharmacist with 3 Antiviral Tinctures and Sugar to make 3 Nucleoside Analogue, which can be made into Aciclovir.
Players can go to any hospital or clinic to be cured by a doctor for free, as Aciclovir's cost of $45 is fully paid by Medicare.[2]
Epidemiology
Chicken pox is an extremely contagious condition that easily spreads between players in close proximity. Epidemiologists have determined a 22% risk of infection within a three-block radius of an infected player.[3]
History
From the second wave of the May 2025 Moon Plague outbreak, a chicken pox infection was spreading alongside a common cold.
