A chickenpox "carrier" is someone who is infected with chickenpox but does not have symptoms. Anyone susceptible to chickenpox can be a chickenpox carrier.

The virus which causes chicken pox, varicella zoster, is passed on through close contact with an individual who has ongoing chickenpox. Touching the spots or pox when they weep will pass the virus on. Chickenpox is also spread in fine droplets of moisture, which contain the virus. The droplets are produced when the infected person coughs or sneezes, another person then inhales these droplets and may become infected.

See the related links for more complete information.

Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral disease that causes hundreds of itchy, fluid-filled blisters on the skin that burst and form crusts. The disease usually affects children, though adults may become infected as well. It is transmitted by direct contact with a rash or through contaminated droplets in air or moisture, usually spread by coughing or sneezing. The varicella-zoster virus (VZV) responsible for chickenpox is one of eight herpes viruses known to infect humans and is found throughout the world.

Varicella is transfered through touching the blisters of an infected individual.

Well, when you have chicken pox, there's no real way of getting rid of it. You have to let it take it's course. Most people get it worse than others, and most people get it as a child. However, when you have chicken pox once, you can't get it again. There is a realted disease, though, called Shingles. It is very painful, and it usually affects older people.

You can get chickenpox from someone who has shingles if you have never been infected before. However, shingles, unlike chickenpox, is only contagious through direct contact with wet lesions. For that reason, casual contact with someone with shingles will not spread the virus.

Babies get chickenpox from exposure to someone who is infected. The virus is spread by airborne droplets as well as direct contact with wet lesions.

Breathing virus molecules that came from chickenpox blebs or by touching the molecules of infected skin. 2-3 days to take most contagious until all the blebs are viscous and viscous.
