Answers:
If you've had the chicken pox, then you'll be alright!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it is EXTREMELY contagious, but once you've had it, it would take a very changed strain to infect you!. In other words, the other person need to be careful about who she comes in contact with!. But you should be fine!.

EDIT: Polarbear, it is VERY contagious and is a virus, not a natural problem!. S!.Bar, Chickin Pox vaccination does not stop shingles (or Herpes Zoster)

yet another EDIT: I am 100!.1% sure, I'm studying to be a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know if they are "caught" but if you get this ailment, see a naturopath for a cure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
