Chicken Pox in Portland - Page 3

[alliteration]

I am also interested in catching chicken pox. I tried last summer and none of the kids exposed got it.

Super kids or wimpy chicken pox?

My dad has had shingles for about 3 weeks and not a sign of the Pox on Max- despite the fact that g-pa babysits him 3 times a week and they go hottubbing, etc.

I read that it's harder to get from shingles, though.

Still wanting to get them here, too.

Moms in search of a pox party

Dear Ladies,
I'm the Family columnist for a national magazine. My February 2009 column is on chickenpox parties. I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts on why you're choosing to have your children catch it "wild" versus receiving the vaccine.

If you're willing to go down on the books (i.e. quoted by your first and last or just first name) then feel free to contact me directly. If you have an opinion but don't want to be named, that's fine too. I can use your screen name off this forum. I look forward to hearing your replies! Take care.
