Answers:
If you've had the chicken pox, then you'll be alright.Health Question & Answer

it is EXTREMELY contagious, but once you've had it, it would take a very changed strain to infect you. In other words, the other person need to be careful about who she comes in contact with. But you should be fine.

EDIT: Polarbear, it is VERY contagious and is a virus, not a natural problem. S.Bar, Chickin Pox vaccination does not stop shingles (or Herpes Zoster)

yet another EDIT: I am 100.1% sure, I'm studying to be a doctor.Health Question & Answer

I don't know if they are "caught" but if you get this ailment, see a naturopath for a cure.Health Question & Answer
