Teacher with baby at home, and students with chicken pox

[Nlallison]

I am a Teacher with a baby at home, a couple of students have been diagnosed with chicken pox, can I carry this virus home to my little guy?

How old is baby?

It depends if you had chickenpox ... if you haven't and you get it then you can pass it on, otherwise you don't

I used to work in a nursery and it can be carried via yourself but rare also too , just to be sure before you go back to baby that you cover hands in sanitizer! My daughter caught chicken pox when she was 5 months even though it was horrible it’s a good age if they’re going to catch it as my other daughter who is nearly 4 hasn’t had them yet and it’s going around nursery and I’m dreading it! My eldest daughter had chicken pox twice and shingles twice too! Xx
