Assuming you mean chicken pox. It's a virus in the herpes family and if you catch it early, you can minimize the outbreak with some medication. Incubation is about a week and It's highly contagious for about a week after that (2 weeks). You can catch it as a child or adult (shingles). The initial symptoms are flu-like, followed by red, itchy spots. It's hard for kids because they'll want to scratch the itch, but if they do and pop one of the blisters, it'll leave a scar. Normally you build antibodies if you've had it as a child. It is very common for kids to catch it once they're school age.

Chicken pox, you mean, right? Well you're wrong you can get it at any age a very large majority of people only get it once. But there are some cases of people getting it twice. What do you want to know about it? you should ask a more specific question with correct spelling. like "what is chicken pox?"

It is chicken pox, not "chicken box." There are immunizations for it , but if you contract chicken pox, it is not serious. Bed rest should do it.
