You can catch chickenpox as many times as your body will allow it but once or twice is the average. It can be very mild or it can end in a trip to the hospital. Not spreading it and not going near those who have it will save a lot of problems for everyone. Being exposed to it but not coming out in spots could mean you are carrying the virus. Shopping, holidays & visiting people spreads this disease quickly. Think before you do any of these things! You may be contagious from a few days before spots or carrying it for up to 21 days after exposure.
