Can you get the chickenpox from someone who has shingles?
A child who never had chicken pox can be infected with chicken pox from an adult (usually over the age of 50 years) who develops shingles. Contact with the fluid from mucous membranes (coughing, sneezing) or from contact with the fluid that oozes out of the open sores carries the virus. A child who has had chicken pox before cannot get chicken pox from an adult with shingles, nor can the child get shingles (because shingles appears later in life). An adult who has shingles cannot give shingles to another adult--- the 2nd adult would get chicken pox first IF that adult never had chicken pox as a child.
Is it possible to get chickenpox from some one who has shingles when you have only had shingles at a young age and not chickenpox?
First, you can't get shingles at any age unless you have previously had chickenpox. Although your chickenpox illness may have been so mild that you didn't notice, a diagnosis of shingles is proof that you had chickenpox. Second, only those who have never had chickenpox can get chickenpox from shingles. Third, shingles is only contagious through direct contact with wet lesions, and is not likely to be spread through casual contact.
