Chicken pox incubation

[lancslass17]

It's been 17 days since my toddler saw his cousin who had chicken pox. So far he has nothing. Will he definately get it?

How long did yours take between exposure and illness?

My little one has just had chicken pox. Took 15 days here for the spots to come out from the day the other child came out in spots. But they spent every day together at the childminders so he could have caught it from the other child before his spots came out! If that makes any sense Can take up to three weeks for spots to come out though according to the nhs website!

It was 15 days after DC1 came out in spots that DC2 got it.

My ds 3 was with his friends in nursery all week they all got chicken pox he didnt- so you never know!

21 incubation period you are not out of the woods yet

21 days on the nose.

All of mine have been 14/15 days post exposure.

2 weeks exactly for my DD to catch it off her cousin. My friend’s boy was 19 days to catch it from his sister though, they thought he might get away with it!

Took my dd 21 days exactly thought we were out of the woods... but no.

It was 3 weeks till my ds come out with the spots he caught it before he broke up for Xmas. His spots have all scabbed up now so he can go back on Tuesday
