You get chicken pox from a person infected with the virus that causes it, Herpes Zoster. Chickenpox usually occurs on the scalp, face, and torso. That doesn't mean they can't appear elsewhere - I had them on my legs and arms and bottom! After the initial infection, it goes dormant and may never reappear. Some people get recurring attacks when the dormant virus in one or more nerves of their peripheral nervous system becomes active again, and they experience a painful outbreak of blisters called shingles.

The reason(s) for this difference in age distribution are not known with certainty, but may be related to lack of childhood varicella infection in rural populations. The incidence of chickenpox is lower in areas with high levels of vaccination.
