	1 of the kids at jetts caregiver has come out in chicken pox today. so my question is . . . are they contageous the week before the spots come out AND while there blister like?? or just the when they blister?? im kind of hoping jett gets them now rather than later on in life.

	I had them as an adult. I was told by the doctor they were contagious before the spots came out AND when I had spots/blisters. Alot of people say that once the spots are out that it is no longer contagious, but I'm pretty sure this is a myth as I had to have 2 weeks off work and be isolated.

	Yep, they are contagious before they show up properly.

	Mine have all had them, they are contagious from 10 days before the spots appear until the spots have all scabbed over. I agree tho, better to get them over and done with, every time they had an outbreak at Maya's daycare I hoped that she'd get them lol.

	I got told they were contagious from 3 days before the first spots (altho the first day there were only 2 spots, we had no idea!) until the last ones have scabbed over, which can take up to a couple of weeks. We are hopefully at the worst now (day 5)
