You can only get chicken pox once. You can get shingles which is similar and called "adult chicken pox" But as far as having the same chicken pox strand, it doesnt happen...

No - you can only get it once, then your immune system know how to fight it. When you get older you can get 'shingles' which is a type of chicken pox
