A chickenpox "carrier" is someone who is infected with chickenpox but does not have symptoms. Anyone susceptible to chickenpox can be a chickenpox carrier. If you are a carrier, typically you will develop blisters as the illness progresses.

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.
