History of Chickenpox
The history of Chickenpox
Brief History
"Chicken pox was discovered in Italy by Giovanni Filippo in the 1500's. Sometime in the 1600's, Richard Morton, an English scientist, gave this virus the name of chicken pox, misinterpreting them for a more mild form of small pox, which in actuality are not related at all. Another reason he named them chicken pox was because it makes the skin look like a plucked chicken.
Even though chicken pox was only discovered in the 1500's, some evidence has shown that chicken pox occurred thousands of years ago. In the 1700's, William Heberden, an English physician, discovered that small pox and chicken pox were not related. He also found out that once a person had chicken pox, he/she wouldn't get it again."
