Have you had chicken pox?

I had it a few years ago. It was the most horrible illness I'd ever contracted.

I was too young to remember about it when I had it :p

When I was little I did.

Nope. Starting to worry me a bit, given that I'm 19...

Yep. I had it twice, too. Once around kindergarten and the second time... in jr high I think. If I remember right.

I thought you can get it again cuz the darn thing mutates...doesn't it?

Is it a bacteria? Viruses can mutate right? *confused*

I had them when I was a baby. It was bad, I heard. Mom told me I even had them in my mouth. :eek:

You arent supposed to be able to get it again once you get it... but if your first case is too mild to strengthen your defenses against it properly (cause having it is like having a vaccine... vaccinations are just weak versions of their diseases, as I'm sure you know) then you can have it again.

Go on webmd or somethin :p

Yes I have. It was ALL OVER me too. I don't remember it well, but mom told me it was terrible. :eek:

My mom made me catch it when I was 5 years old.

Yeah... when I was in 1st grade... I got it from my little sister too...
