Best Answer

If you come in contact with someone there that already has chickenpox, yes you might (if you are not already immune). Otherwise no.

Another Answer

It is highly unlikely that anyone living and working in Antarctica temporarily would be ill with chickenpox -- but you may catch it traveling to this assignment.

No. While you can catch chickenpox, shingles comes from a virus already within you (chickenpox virus) so you can only have shingles if you have previously had chickenpox. I myself had shingles back when I was in the fourth grade but neither my brother nor my sister ever had it.

IF you're going to get chickenpox from a shingles exposure, it would take between 10 and 21 days to get chickenpox. You'd have to never have had chickenpox before to get shingles, however, even if you'd never had chickenpox, you still might not catch them from being exposed to shingles.
