Blog #8: Hot Zone Biocontainment Facility Cautions and Procedures

When entering a hot zone biocontainment facility, there are many cautions that you should heed, and many procedures that you should follow. First, you should always wash yourself and eliminate as many contaminants as possible. Then you would put a "space suit" on to protect yourself from everything. When you're done, you rinse off the suit, then you leave the room and take it off. Some precautions are: NEVER have direct contact with the specimen, to ALWAYS keep your suit on when necessary, and to always clean yourself off so that no contaminants can stow away on you and hijack yours or even someone else's system.

Translation: This is why I would never want to get chicken pox. Even though I already got it once, I would hate to get it again. The symptoms include itchy rashes, fever, malaise, irritability, mild headache, abdominal pain, and a loss of appetite. It only lats ten days though and it only spreads by direct contact between people. Once you get it, it is vey unlikely that you will ever get it again.
