Touching contaminated goods that have been newly soiled, such as clothing, from an affected person, might spread chickenpox indirectly. Direct contact with the blisters of a person suffering from shingles can result in chickenpox in someone who has never had chickenpox and has not been immunized. However, direct contact with an unaffected person's skin will not spread the virus. There have been reports of children who have contracted chickenpox after touching their eyes or mouths. They may have believed that because they were having eye problems or fever they should not touch anything. But they actually touched something that had the virus on it and then put their hands to their eyes or mouth. This was how the virus was passed on to them. People who are immune due to previous infection or vaccination cannot get shingles but they can still pass on the virus to others. The same is true for people who have recovered from chickenpox; they can still pass on the virus but they won't get sick themselves. Chickenpox can be spread by touching objects that have the virus on them and then putting your hand to your face or head. This includes items like bedsheets, toys, furniture, and doorknobs that have been used by someone who has the rash or fever. People who aren't yet immune can still catch chickenpox from an infected person.
