Chicken pox (Varicella) is a contagious disease common amongst children and one that is dangerous for adults. The source of the disease is a virus from the herpes family that goes by the name of the Varicella Zoster virus. The incubation period from infection until the appearance of the characteristic rash is between 12 – 14 days. A few days prior to the appearance of the rash, the patient can infect others very easily, particularly those that haven’t experienced this disease.
