      Chicken pox is caused by a virus. It isn’t a really really serious virus and our bodies are really good at attacking it. That is why we only tend to get chicken pox once in our lives. What happens is the virus infects us when you come into contact with someone else with chicken pox. Our bodies develop an army of cells to attack it. This army remembers what the virus is like so if it tries to infect us again,. we send out our army to fend it off!
