Solution

A person is more likely to fall sick when she is on a four-day fast after recovering from malaria and is taking care of someone who is suffering from chicken pox. This is because she is fasting during recovery, and her immune system is so weak that it is not able to protect its own body from any foreign infection. If she is taking care of someone suffering from chicken pox, then she has more chance of getting infected with the chicken pox virus and will getting sick again with this disease.
