Have you ever had chicken pox before?

[kyteinthesky]

No

Yes

I can't remember

I never heard of chicken pox before

[cth96190]

Yes. I was infected with chicken pox when I was 32.
The night before the sores appeared, I did not know that it was possible to feel that ill and not die.
When the stores appeared, it was like some sort of Biblical curse, or mediaeval pestilence.
The illness lasted for three weeks.

[Bluemax]

Yes. I was five. I remember first feeling the symptoms at Disneyland.

I had it when I was 8, it sucked balls :( . I wish my Mum had taken to me a chicken pox party to get me infected when I was a baby lols. I'm glad there's a vaccine now :)

[skaikrasha]

Yeah, when I was just a couple of years old. I do remember it quite well though. I was so green lol 🙈💚

[kyteinthesky]

Green? what the hell happened?

[skaikrasha]

Zelionka happened.

[Dtegesd123]

Can Asians even get it? I've never heard of any Asians getting it.

[kyteinthesky]

I'm pretty sure It doesn't matter your race.. but maybe it just not common in Asia?

[Dtegesd123]

wow, just cause I'm Asian doesn't mean I grew up over there.

I grew up in the States and Canada.

[Narcissus_Narcosis]

Yes they can. I remember in first grade this Asian kid had it.

[kyteinthesky]

I didn't say you did , and I didn't say you have to live in Asia to be Asian. But it's fair to say Asia is highly populated with Asian people , so if it wasn't common for Asian people to get the chicken pox it's fair to say that I't might be because its not common in Asia.

[DandelionGirl]

Yeah I did when I was little, its great that I dont have to worry about it now.

[Prof_Don]

I had chicken pox in 1st grade... the year before the vaccine came out! lol

[akadatank44]

Yup I did. Nowadays kids don't get it. But they get something similar.

[gizmo4me2]

If you are a male I'm sure you need to have chicken pox before you grow up, something to do been sterile?

[kyteinthesky]

I'm pretty sure that not how that works :P, I know it you don't get the chicken pox wen your your you are at a nigher risk of getting shingles ( I explained how this works on someones comment on here )

[kyteinthesky]

WOW my spelling.. i'm waaay too tired for typing atm @_@

[AleDeEurope]

I'm vaccinated against it, so no.

[LivingThatLife]

No. How do they taste?

[kyteinthesky]

Like oatmeal ;) lol XD

[LivingThatLife]

Great. I love oatmeal. I'll need to buy some chicken pox and milk tomorrow

[kyteinthesky]

lol i seriously hope you joking XD

[Azgeda]

Nah. I got vaccinated against it way early.

[EmpatheticLady]

No, I haven't had it.

[teawrecks]

So I've been told. Don't actually remember though.

[Marstalk]

Yes, now I am just waiting on shingles.

[kyteinthesky]

I might be wrong but i'm pretty sure that if you got chicken pox that means your body is now immune to shingles because their both caused by the same virus ( zoster or herpes zoster ) , and how viruses work is once your body gets it and if it fights it off you become immune. So if you had it once and you fought it off you can't get it again. and that's for the same resin evrey year thay come out with a new flu shot is because it keeps changing so it can seam to effect multiple times but its really a slightly different strain.. but with chicken pox and shingles it is int know to have mutated so i'm pretty sure your good.

[douride2]

I have been told I did. Don't remember it though.

[sixnineanon]

No, I don't get diseases

[neoagent1]

Yes I believe I was in first grade.

[babeeeone]
