If a person has not previously had the chickenpox, it is best to avoid contact with any person who is infected with shingles until the infection has cleared the person completely.

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.

Chickenpox is most easily spread from 2 to 3 days before the rash appears until all the blisters have crusted over.
Can you carry chickenpox to other adults if you are caring for a child with chickenpox?
Any person suffering from a virus such as chicken pox should be isolated. If you are caring for a person with chicken pox you will not pass on the virus to another person who has already suffered a form of the disease; they will be immune. When visiting or caring for a person with any illness, especially an infectious disease, good hygiene is essential. The most important aspect of good hygiene is hand-washing; you should wash your hands thoroughly, in hot water if possible, and dry them well before and after contact with the ill person. This is hugely important because if you are caring for or visiting an ill person, you could not only carry their infection to others, but could easily transmit an infection to them, picked up from hand contact or by contact with objects such as telephones, door handles, light switches, elevator buttons, and so on. A person who is already ill is at greater risk of contracting an infection. Very many infections are transmitted by contact with someone either suffering from the infection or someone who has had contact with an infected person and failed to observe proper hygiene procedures. If you touched someone with chickenpox the day before, you are not likely to carry chickenpox to another child unless you yourself are infected. If you don't have immunity and got infected as a result of your contact, you could infect others.
How was chickenpox created?
Chickenpox is a contagious disease caused by varicella-zoster virus. It leads to a skin rash that is itchy and after a few days transforms into blisters. Chickenpox virus is transmitted by air and reaches a healthy organism by mouth or by nose. If an infected person coughs or sneezes and the small particles of saliva reaches a healthy person the virus will get into the lungs and then into the blood stream. If a person has had chickenpox the chances for it to develop this disease again are quite small. Chickenpox is very contagious and generally 90% of those who live close to the infected person will catch the virus if they are not immunized against it. It seems that chickenpox occurs more often during later winter and early spring moths.
Can a person who has had chickenpox hang out with a person who has chickenpox?
Yes, once a child has had chicken pox, he or she cannot cannot usually get the disease again and so could hang out with a child who has the disease. However, he or she should touch the open, oozing sores on the infected child, nor share anything that would transfer saliva. If the infected child is sneezing, that child should be kept at home until they are not sneezing.
