Chook Me!

Am I carrying chicken pox virus if my daughter is contagious?

I work with kids and I believe my daughter has the chicken pox (will go to the doctor tomorrow to confirm) am I a carrier of the virus if am around her? Do I have to let my work know that I was around a chicken pox infected person? I have been tested and confirmed to have the antibodies for chicken pox even if I don't remember having it.

1. That's a good question. I would ask the doctor when you go.
2. Do let your work know that your daughter has chicken pox. You could be a carrier and, that way, at least you've covered yourself by letting work know. All the best. =)
