Chiciken pox is only contagous when the sores /spots are open so it someone used the soap and left some of the infection on it, it would be possible to contract it.Can you get chicken pox from a bath soap?
In one word,No.
How do you catch chickenpox?





The viral infection is transferred from one person to another through direct contact with the broken chickenpox blisters and through airborne droplets.





The infectious period lasts from about three days before the rash appears until all the blisters have formed scabs.





The incubation period between being infected with chickenpox until the disease breaks out and symptoms appear is 10 to 20 days.

Don't let your child scratch the scabs, which can cause infection and lead to scarring. Keep your child's fingernails short and wash the child's hands several times a day with soap, to help avoid infection.

NO
Probably not as I don't know of any research that shows this, but seeing that it is a contagious disease, I would exercise caution.
If the person used the soap and it touched the infected area and the soap dried before it was rinsed off then yes it could be possible. You can get chicken pox from a grocery cart that the kid hasn't been sitting in for a while and it wasn't wiped down before you use it.
No. It's a virus and dies quickly once off the body. It wouldn't live on a bar of soap even for a little while.
chicken pocks is contagious so my guess is yes
No
