Can You Let Your Child Get A Once In A Life Time Illness by naves(m): 8:28pm On Jul 02, 2011
illnesses like chicken pox can only affect you once in your life. so as a parent or guardian, would you let your child go outside to play if there is a spread of chicken pox or would you lock him or her in doors for their safety.

When we were kids, if any of our friends had chicken pox we were actually put we these kids in hope we pick up chicken pox, so in later life as adults we would not get shingles,

Heard that if u get chicken pox as an adult, that it is usually very serious but as a kid, not serious at all. Don't want my kids to get it cos I don't want to get it.

Very serious indeed if chicken pox is contracted as an adult.

Why're you still sulking, Ms Blank?

Lagos stress is too much. See River Niger in front of my house. I don tire. Can't wait to retire to my village. Till then, I will keep sulking. (Actually, I av not gotten round to changing the profile. Can't even remember when I put it.)

Have any of  you had Chicken Pox as an adult? I've had it twice and never had shingles. Shingles not nice from what I've heard.  Maybe if I ever get it I should give some kid who's never had Chicken Pox a piggy back  cheesy

Did you know you can some people who've had chicken pox as a child and contract it again as an adult?  Happened to a friend - got it from some children she was looking after.

I had chicken pox as a child and as an adult. Thankfully didn't have the shingles.

You can get chickenpox more than once.

I had it as a child and had it recently.  I was adviced to stay indoors so it doesnt spread to others, doctors asked me to ring the GP rather than visit in person. Not funny i tell ya  grin

Can't beat the first time I had chicken pox. I didn't know what it was and went to visit Oyinbo GP.  He had a black student doctor with him.

As soon as I came in he got all excited.  He was saying to the student "aah, this is a good example, you never usually see this, look".  Then he asked me questions and quite excitedly echoed my response back at the student.  He was happily showing the student where the poxes were and said "they've come up beautifully" "aah, look at that one, see it here"  grin

Of course I'm totally lost cos I have no idea what he's talking about.  He then sat down matter-of-fact and said to me "Chickenpox", lol.

Yes, but it depends on which illness.  With proper nutrition and a normal immune system many childhood illnesses are harmless, and some are even beneficial. Chicken pox protects against shingles. There is a study that shows getting the mumps protects against getting ovarian cancer.

Personal choice. I do think I would cry if I ever had to see my child covered with chicken pox.  cry
