yeah she might want to stay away from you for a while even people that had it before cause they can catch it again. That's what my parents told me. Cause I had them already. But I stayed home, so that's probably your best bet.

You should not be contagious when all of the bumps are dried up and scabbed over. If they are wet at all, then the virus can still be passed. 10-14 days from the onset approx.

my husband has shingles @ the moment -- which caused my son to get the chicken pox -- look up chicken pox or ask your doctor -- also look up shingles& know all the signs for that as you may get these potentially deadly things later in life --- please dont givem to granny!!!!

until they are no longer open (pus filled.) three to seven days after the spots are seen.
