Remember how when we were kids everybody got chicken pox at least once? Didn't you ladies get it growing up? Is that…

You only get chicken pox once if at all. However, after you've had chicken pox you can get shingles.

I had chicken pox when I was around 5.

I got it when I was like 6 months old

I've never had chicken pox.

I had it. My 2 oldest had it at 4 yrs and 8 months.

Did anyones make them get it to get it over with?

I got em. My mom had a daycare so we all got em lol.

I never got it. My sister did, and they think that may have led to her developing diabetes a few years later.

I heard of some parents trying to infect their kids with it from another sick kid, but there's a vaccine now so I don't know why people are intentionally getting their kids sick and risking complications. My friend had the blisters in her nose, her throat, inside her eyelids 😖 and then there's shingles later in life. My stepmom had those and she said it was the worst time of her life.

My sister and I never got them.

But I’ve heard of this thing where groups of people will get together with peoples kids who have chicken pox so their kids get it. Not really a good idea since if you get chicken pox you can develop shingles later in life.

No, it's not that common anymore because kids get a vaccine for it.

I never got the chicken pox

I never got it. My older sisters did.

I got chicken pox when I was a kid and now I will be getting the shingles next in my life.

I never got it. I hear it's worse add adults but I never had it
