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.
