Chickenpox
I hung out with a friend on Monday evening. On Tuesday afternoon, she developed scabs/scars due to chickenpox. What are the chances of infection? If I'm infected, what can I do to minimize the effects.

Hello....... Chicken pox can be transmitted from person to person through aerosol... If you had chicken pox in childhood you will not get it now.. Otherwise you are vulnerable and chances are there...... You just have to take antipyretic till symtoms subside there is no other way..
