Symptoms:
Since an infected person might not develop the fluid-filled blisters right away, it can be difficult to identify chicken pox at an instance. Most of the early symptoms (before the blisters form) are very similar to a common cold or other sickness. These can include fever, headache, and sore throat.
Then, of course, there is the more obvious symptom: red, liquid-filled blisters all over the body (itchy).

How Do You Get Chicken Pox?
The chicken pox virus can be transmitted between humans very easily. If someone who has chicken pox sneezes or coughs on you, you might get it. You can also get it if you share food or drink with an infected person. The most prevalent way of spreading this virus is by touching the liquid from an infected person's blister. This disease is only very easily spreadable from the time you get the blisters, to the time they start to form scabs (2-5 days). It still is spreadable afterwards, but it is not as common. You can also spread this virus even before you know you have it, so always be cautious!
