No, silly bandz do not cause chicken pox. Chicken pox is caused by a virus (varicella zoster virus) that is spread from individuals who are "contagious," meaning that they are infected with the virus and can transmit it to other persons by coughing or sneezing or by direct contect with secretions from the chicken pox rash.
