How Chickenpox works?
Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, and it can spread easily. You can get chickenpox from an infected person who sneezes, coughs, or shares food with you. It is also spread if you touch the fluid from a chickenpox blister. A person who has chickenpox can spread the virus even before he or she has any symptoms. Chickenpox is most easily spread from 2 to 3 days before the rash appears until all the blisters have crusted over.
Can you transmit chickenpox to someone else when you have been in contact with someone with chickenpox?
You can only transmit chickenpox to someone if you have the chickenpox yourself.Once you had chicken pox you can not get it again-that is what is believed by doctors and scientists. You should be vaccinated for it because if you were not and did not have it when you were young you can get it when you are elderly but it is worse and called "shingles."
