Although varicella infection is much less common in adults than in children, it is associated with
greater morbidity, namely pneumonia, hepatitis and encephalitis. Chickenpox results in the death
of 25 people/year in England and Wales and 75% of these deaths occur in adults

most of those will be pregnant women, old people, immune defiecient, etc

that's too bad =/

Don't worry about me catching it cause I already had it

man that sucks, hope you get over them soon.

I got it like when I was 2. I don't even remember it.

Urgh, I haven't been out for 4 days. My mates keep going out, they are going up to a club in town tonight, shall I risk it? My face and arms aren't bad and everyone their is over 18 and prob wont catch them.

I can't stay in another night I'm going crazy here.

^^ just do it, screw everyone else!

You've had them for 4 days now, I would venture out. The contagious part should be past.

Also, that sucks. The first time any child in my relatively close family/friends gets chicken pox, we are all visiting so all of my kids can get it over with early.

As you get older its generally worse for you.
