Chickenpox, also called varicella, is characterized by itchy red blisters that appear all over the body. A virus causes this condition. It often affects children, and was so common it was considered a childhood rite of passage. Itâs very rare to have the chickenpox infection more than once. And since the chickenpox vaccine was introduced in the mid-1990s, cases have declined.
âWicca is the fastest-growing religion in America, set to be the third largest religion by 2012,â claims Marla Alupoaicei, who co-wrote the recently released book âGeneration Hexâ with fellow Christian author Dillon Burroughs.
In North America, Muslims and followers of âother religionsâ are the fastest-growing religious groups. In the United States, for example, the share of the population that belongs to other religions is projected to more than double â albeit from a very small base â rising from 0.6% to 1.5%.
