My mom came in contact with a person whose family members have chickenpox. Both didn't wear mask. Does chickenpox effect only those whose immunity is low? Does it effect normal person?

Usually a lot ppl have already got chiknpox in their childhood. So less chances of adults acquiring the infection. Take a warm bath, avoid cold fluids, wait for symptoms if any for one week.

Chickenpox can affect anyone , but it doesn't affect everyone who comes in contact with a Chickenpox case. At present you can do nothing. Wait for 3-4 weeks. She may or may not develop Chickenpox.
