The increases will directly benefit more than 2 million workers, according to The Fairness Project, which partners with minimum wage campaigns across the country. Washington's current $9.47 minimum wage will rise to $13.50 by 2020. One of its major cities -- Seattle -- has already approved a $15 minimum wage. The other three states approved increases to $12 by 2020 -- from $8.31 in Colorado, $8.05 in Arizona, and $7.50 in Maine currently.
Impetigo, a bacterial infection of the skin that can occur in both children and adults, can cause blisters. Chickenpox, an infection caused by a virus, produces itchy spots, and often blisters on the skin. The same virus that causes chickenpox also causes shingles, or herpes zoster. The virus reappears in some people later in life and produces a skin rash with fluid vesicles that can rupture.
Shingles is caused by the herpes zoster virus, the same virus that causes chicken pox. Aging, compromised immunity or other illness can cause the virus to awaken from dormancy. Shingles usually affects the torso, causing a painful rash with blisters. When shingles affects the eye, it is known as herpes zoster opthalmicus. Treatment includes oral antiviral medications and oral corticosteroids. It's important to seek treatment right away to prevent complications, including severe, recurring pain or relapses of the disease.
