My 8 month old baby boy has chicken pox and he's quite poorly. I don't really have any spots, but my skin is itchy and I feel dizzy and feel like I have the flu. Does anyone have any experience of this? Can you just get the virus part without the spots developing? I think had chicken pox when I was younger, but each time one of my children has had this I've felt ill too. I need to know because of going to school to collect the children. Any help much appreciated.
