Circulating Chicken Pox Candy Illegal, Notifies Federal Prosecutor

The Tennessee federal prosecutor, Jerry Martin has warned parents against the chicken pox candy and notified that it is an illegal practice. “Can you imagine getting a package in the mail from this complete stranger that you know from Facebook because you joined a group, and say here, drink this purported spit from some other kid”, he added further.
In addition, the prosecutor has also notified that circulating these illegal lollipops as well as other infected items is a major offence that can push the culprit to spend up to 20 years in jail. Jerry Martin emphasized on the need of measures to end this approach and attempted to explain that any involvement with this sort of behavior tends to push people to develop major health conditions. Besides this, the involved person is also likely to deal with a federal criminal prosecution.
On the other hand, a specialist in pediatric infectious diseases at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, Isaac Thomsen claimed that virus is shipped rapidly and raised concerns over the spread of more dangerous viruses such as hepatitis because of used lollipops.
While commenting on the issue, the President of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, Dr. William Schaffner depicted chickenpox lollipops as a “misinformed concept” that is not likely to work and notified that in order to acquire the chickenpox virus one needs to inhale it as it is not likely to spread through spit.
As per reports, a native of Nashville, Wendy Werkit hailed parents and offered them to mail a "fresh batch of pox" on lollipops or even on cotton-buds for just $50. While answering a question seeking explanation regarding her proposal, she notified a regional television station that her parent’s frustration had inspired her to sell the product.
