I was 8 years old. It mostly occurs in children but adults can get it. Caused by the virus Herpes Zoster which also causes shingles. Incubation period is 2weeks. You are infectious until spots are scabbed infection is passed by water droplets and is dangerous to pregnant women.

I was 28. I was working in a doctor's office and a patient came in with a herpes zoster infection. I think I got it from contact with him.

I was fourteen. I have no idea where I got them from...presumably from someone at school.
My kid all had the pox two years ago. They got them from my friend's daughter, at a pox party.

i was about 7 or 8.. but if you never got it before in your life you can still get it, which happened to a friend of mine recently. He's currently 30 years old.. it happened in October of this year. And if you just have no immunity to it, it's possible to get it more than just once.
Usually you can only contract chicken pox through physical contact and when you do get it is most likely that you will never get it again.. Chicken pox is a virus and it usually lasts between 10- 25 days. It is usually in kids, and is best to contract as a child because you can easily make time for your child rather than yourself, if you work.
