If my little niece has chicken pox and her
family can be carriers then if my husband
is with in 5feet of one of them then does
that make him a carrier? I need to know
and can my unborn child get chicken pox if
I have already had them? :?

I'm not to sure about your man being a
carrier. From what I do know, even if you
have had the chicken pox, and your baby is
exposed later in life (at like 2 or 3)
he/she will more than likely get them.
But i'm not sure if they have a vaccine
against the chicken pox nowadays.
I do know that it's better to get the
chicken pox earlier in life than later. I
think they can be fatal if you contract
them later on in life....
Hope this kinda helps...I'm not to sure
about it though!!
Good .Luck!!

If you had chicken pox already dont worry
too much but do try and avoid them and
make sure you had your shot for german
measles and that your immune to them if
not then avoid anyone whos been around
chicken pox. Usually once you have had
chicken pox your fine their is another
form that you can get from it its called
"shingle" but the person would pyshically
have to have it for you to get it and that
is dangerous to the fetus!!
