Anyone w/ Chickenpox in Bozeman?

[MamaMontana]

I'm looking to expose my son to chickenpox so I don't have to vaccinate him for preschool. Please let me know of anyone in the Gallatin Valley area (Montana) who would be willing to share!!! Thanks.

We have chicken pox; but I am in Texas. I have read about "care packages" but I am not sure what to send. Let me know, I can send you whatever...if you think it might work.

Does that really work? I have never heard of that.

I have a feeling chicken pox is going to be hard for us to find here...I would gladly drive to BZ for it (we are in Billings).

Didn't for us. We tried it a few weeks ago. Got a t-shirt in the mail from a friend of a friend, it was priority mailed. Two of my three kids wore it for extended periods of time (Supposedly the best way to get it is direct contact with the sores), but we never caught it. I have heard stories of parties, but it took the kids three different parties to get it. I wish it was going around. My son is almost 5 and I really worry about this.

Any luck finding chickenpox? We are looking for it in Helena. If we come across it I will post here so we can spread it around.

I'm another one in the Billings area looking for it. I can't believe it's so hard to find.
