Can you get chickenpox from eating food cooked by someone with shingles?

No, you cannot get chickenpox from eating food cooked by someone with shingles. The virus that causes chickenpox and shingles, called the varicella-zoster virus, is not transmitted through food. It is spread through direct contact with an infected person's saliva or mucus, or through contact with the fluid from the blisters of someone with shingles.
