Answer by Russ
He has a chance of getting it but if he's careful by not sharing the same household items he may do fine especially if they are in seperate rooms

sorry to say, if your son wasn't given the chicken pox vaccine, he will most likely get it. all of my 3 girls had chicken pox within days of each other many many Christmases ago. best of luck

I wouldn't say that it makes it certain, though it probably ups the odds substantially if you're around someone with it. Some people will have a naturally higher resistance to such things and it may take prolonged exposure to actually show any symptoms, though they're still technically "infected" their body does a good job of keeping the virus in check.
Chicken pox is a pretty contagious disease though so even with a good immune system and short exposure time he'll probably end up with it eventually.
Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
