This viral condition manifests as small fluid-filled blisters all over the body. This condition usually affects small children; however, sometimes adults who are diabetic, have a weakened immune system, have cancer or other such underlying medical conditions may get affected too. This contagious disease spreads through air-borne particles that are spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or if the caregiver comes in direct contact with the infected person. Sometimes, the infection may stay dormant until the apt weather conditions arise to support the infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What Can You Do: <\/strong>The best you can do is to get a chickenpox shot and prevent yourself from being around the infected person. The infected person should be kept quarantined at home with minimum contact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Jaundice\"><\/span><strong>7.

This condition may affect anyone who consumes contaminated food or water. Hepatitis A virus gets into the body through the faeces-oral route, and this happens when you consume water or food that is contaminated with the faeces of an infected person. This condition can become severe and affect the liver too. The main symptoms of jaundice include yellowish skin, pale eyes, dark-coloured urine and itchy skin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What Can You Do: <\/strong>One of the most effective ways to keep this infection at bay is by avoiding the exposure to this kind of infection. Maintaining a healthy weight, managing your cholesterol levels and putting a limit to your alcohol consumption may help in preventing the condition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/pharmeasy.in\/blog\/food-poisoning-foods-that-can-help-deal-with-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">7 Foods to Eat During Food Poisoning<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, don\u2019t forget to wash your hands before cooking or eating.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer can be a very taxing season for your body.
