Almost there: If you have no new lesions and all the old ones are dry and crusted over you are no longer contagious. And chicken pox has nothing to do with chicken or your ability to eat it.

Chicken pox has: nothing to do with eating chicken and there are no restrictions on eating it. If there are no new lesions and the old ones are scabbing over you are no longer contagious.
