If you have already been infected with chicken pox before- you’re safe. If you haven’t gotten chicken pox till now, it’s very likely that you will also get it.

Chicken pox as such is contagious and can spread mainly by touching the blisters, or via the saliva or mucus of an infected person. It can also spread by touching contaminated things like clothing etc. and also by aerosols from the infected person.
