Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Can someone get chicken pox twice? It is rare that a person will contract chicken pox twice, but those with immune problems are at an elevated risk of a second infection. There are also those cases when people think they had chicken pox when they were younger, when in fact it was just a rash or something else. http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/chickenpox.html Years ago I was also told this by a nurse. ~Rainy Yanosz Descouedresz <yanosz@...> wrote: I didn't know that you could get pox again. I thought once you were done with it, that's it. Can you give me more info on this, please?

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I had chickenpox twice. Once as a small child and again as an adult when my first child was a toddler. The second time they were horrible!!! I had them everywhere!! I had a very severe adult case of chickenpox. The first time I had chickenpox as a child I had a mild case. I was told that some people do not build enough immunity. So it is possible to have them more than one. When I was in college I had a nursing instructor tell me that she got chickenpox four times!!! She has never built immunity! Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
