There may be a degree of truth in that belief. Aside from human originated viruses, virtually all our viruses are contracted by association with diseased animals in which the virus has mutated to live in the human body. A current concern with the avian flu. Prior to microbiology, the disease was thought to have occurred by handling chickens. There may be a degree of truth in that belief.

It has to be an analogy. At least that is my theory.

The thought of spotty hens wandering around was quite appealing. The origin of the name is debatable, with some suggesting that the small spots look like they've been caused by the beaks of chickens (I would like to point out that as a child I was pecked on a number of occasions by my chickens during attempts to pet them, and this really hurt and sometimes drew blood, but never made me look like I had chicken pox). Most people, however, reckon the name comes from the resemblance of the chickenpox spots to chick peas, with the blisters looking like they have been placed on the skin.
