I think chicken pox is most contageous
before it actually appears on the skin or
when the little marks are new.
That mother is still very negligent for
having her child out with it. Some people
could die from catching it.
Good luck, I hope she doesn't get it.

Yeah, she was kind of a nut case in the
first place...but that would be a whole
different post.
And I didn't see the spots, my cousin said
she did....so I don't know what kind of
spots she saw and I *just* took her home.
I'll have to ask her when/if she gets
online. But ugh....why do ignorant people
feel the need to reproduce?

Wow, how dare she expose other people and
their children to that disease without
their consent??

I know. If my daughter gets chicken
pox.....
And of all places to be, she was in a busy
store (k-mart, but in the little caesars
part....where we got our pizza) and on
.memorial .day .weekend *sigh*
I am almost positive she's been vaccinated
against the pox, I'd have to get in her
file to double check....she should be ok,
but it just makes me mad that people don't
stop and think at the potential risks
involved in their decisions.

stupid question-
chicken pox is more dangerous in adults,
so at some point (later, not as babies)
don't we want our kids to get it?
by the way, i do think it's wrong that
that woman was out mingling with you and
your baby. some people are just stupid.

That's what I thought too, but I don't
remember babies ever getting a chicken pox
vaccine. I wish I knew more about chicken
pox.

.i can't remember if their is a vaccine
for chicken pox but .i do know that the
older you are the harsher it is on the
body. .i got it when .i was a baby and my
parents tell me that it wasn't that bad
for me. .they just put little mittens on
so .i wouldn't scratch. .i hope she
doesn't catch it but since she was exposed
it could happen. .germs are strong little
buggers

babies get antibodies against the virus

unusual for a baby to come down with
chicken pox during the first year. Those

case. |
.i got that off of a children's health
site. .i hope it helps.

Thanks! Adriana is a little over 1 (as of

So if she does happen to get them, maybe
they won't be too bad.

.it should't be since she will still have
antibodies from you, especially if you
breastfed. .i hope it all works out for
you.

i've never had chicken pox.  .i
had the vaccine when i was like 9 or 10..
my sister's had it when they were 2 &
3.. or when they were 3 & 4.. & i
never got it. & i know my best friend
had them at one point (before i got the
vaccine) & everyone was allowed to go
to the party because their parents all
wanted their kids to get it before they
got older.. but my mom wouldn't let me go,
lol. i'm pretty sure it's an airborn
virus. because we were super surprised
& confused that i didn't get it after
my sisters got it.
we thought i had them one time.. after i
had strep.. turns out i just had really
really severe hives & a super high
fever 'cause i was highly allergic to
amoxicillian.. lol.

.you can get chicken pox twice, but most
of the time it is less severe the second
time around.

Chicken Pox Question...
Posted: 05-26-07 00:34am

The incubation period is 2 to 3 weeks.
The contagious period is 1 day before skin
eruptions until 6 days after the first
crop of vesicles crust over. It is spread
by coughing, sneezing, and the skin
lesions themselves are contagious. It is
not a poxvirus; it is actually a herpes
virus. (You carry the virus forever)

and this weird woman came over and started
talking to us, and telling me my daughter
looks just like her daughter and all this,
and while this goes on her other daughter
was standing quite close to .adriana and
talking/playing with her. Well then she
tells me how her little one is at home
with the flippin' chicken pox!!
