Make sure you have it young
My neighbours kid gave it to me as an adult and it turned into shingles which was a living nightmare for 6 whole bloody weeks.
It attacks the nervous system and was non stop big time pain the whole time.

Err, thanks for telling me that.
I've never had chicken pox and I'm almost 20. Think there's a possibility I'll never get it?

they have a vaccine now, y'know...
But, just to scare you:

Ten years old: Cousins get chicken pox. Mother takes us over there. We don't get chicken pox.
Sixteen years old: Sister, brother, and stepfather get chicken pox. I don't live with them, but I go to visit. Sleep in the same house with the scabbed-over brother and sister and still-infectious stepfather, and don't get chicken pox.
Twenty years old: Visit a friend who starts feeling sick right after I leave. She comes down with chicken pox. I don't.
Twenty-seven years old: Absolutely out of nowhere, I come down with chicken pox.

Pox Parties!
Reminds me of South Park


I think Pox Parties are banned in Canada because it increases the likelyhood of mutation.

Wont even get imunisations the selfish gits

I was immunised
and I turned out ok...

We just invited the kids who'd already had it, the kids whose parents wanted them to catch it, and the kids no-one liked. And then breathed on them.
