Question: What is the possibility of getting infected again by chicken pox when one already had it before!?
Answers:
There have been RARE occurrences of people experiencing chicken pox twice!. Much more likely is an outbreak of shingles, caused by the same virus, as it lies dormant in the body once the active outbreak of chicken pox is over!. Shingles is a very painful inflammation of nerves!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The probability that you get a second round of actual chicken pox is almost zero!. The human body develops a strong immune reaction to that particular strain of the herpes simplex virus and it almost never recurs as rash with fever!. But once infected with herpes, one never gets rid of it!. The virus lies dormant in the nerves around the spine!. The same virus that causes chicken pox is what produces Shingles in some people later in life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
