Question: "Chickenpox is seasonal in temperate zones, with the highest incidence seen in winter and spring. One explanation for this seasonality could be the significantly higher levels in ultra-violet radiation (UVR) of approximately 10-25-fold seen in summer in temperate zones, which could inactivate virus either in vesicular lesions or after their rupture," researchers noted in the Virology Journal. Was this underlying observation (not from this specific article, but in general) what inspired your idea about the links between sunlight and the spread of chickenpox infection? Or was it perhaps the links between TB and sunlight? If not, how did you come up with your idea?
