I believe it is transferred through stuff that falls out of the blisters. So, no. Also, it has a two week incubation period.


Answer:
yes

Answer:
Well when I had chicken pox (i didn't have it as a child. i had it when i was about 14 or so) But anyways when I had it, the doctors said that my parents could touch me and go near me because their immune system wasn't like tough enough or something? But after a week i was all better, but then 2 weeks later, sadly enough i gave chicken pox to my brother (who was 18!) so you have to stay home…for a whole…week…and other people living with you should get their shots

Answer:
You can be a carrier of the chicken pox virus, but not get ill yourself. As children now a days you are vaccinated against it ( about 15 month of age ) , but until then you are still very succeptable to getting it. The chicken pox vaccine is not 1oo % so there are possibilities that one person can pass the virus on to another. When the "spots"/red sores appear come out, you are no longer "contagious". If you never had them as a young child and are exposed to them as an adult it is called :shingles" and aduluts get quite ill from having this.
