Question

Under which of the following conditions is a person most likely to fall sick?

1. when she is recovering from malaria.
2. when she has recovered from malaria and is taking care of someone suffering from chicken-pox.
3. when she is on a four-day fast after recovering from malaria and is taking care of someone suffering from chicken-pox. Why?

Answer 1

1. When a person is on a four-day fast after recovering from malaria and caring for someone who has chicken pox, she is more likely to become ill.
2. This is due to the fact that she is fasting during her recuperation and her immune system is so weak that it is unable to protect her body from any outside infection.
3. If she is caring for someone who has chicken pox, she is more likely to become infected with the virus and become sick again.
