Hi all

I've had the chicken pox as a kid. The kid I mind has chicken pox and I was just wondering is it possible I could pass it onto anyone at home after minding him?

My dad is going through chemo at the moment and he has had chicken pox but worried I could pass it on

Even if you had it in the past you can still get it.

Hi I'm glad you asked. If you wash your toes you will not pass on the pox to not no one.
