  system problems that make it hard for the body to
  fight infection.

• It can spread easily. You can get it from an
  infected person who sneezes, coughs, or shares
  food or drinks. You can also get it if you touch
  the fluid from a chickenpox blister.
• Chickenpox is most easily spread from 2 to 3 days
  before the rash appears until all the blisters
  have crusted over

  of all cases occur in men and women 60 years old
  or older.
