/ Was: Chicken pox in the classroom

[Guest guest]

I don't know for sure about the gender difference. I can tell you

that my sister who is 2 yrs older got the chicken pox from her

daughter when she was in her early twenties. She did not take any

anti-virals - not sure if they were not available at that time or if

she just didn't go to the doctor. She was very, very sick for about

3 weeks and covered from head to toe with pox.

A man that I once worked with told me that he had them as an adult

and had taken some anti-viral medication, not sure which one, but he

said that his case was pretty mild as well. So I think for sure

that the anti-viral is extremely important for any adult who becomes

infected with chicken pox.
