I thought everyone gets it once in their life, usually as a child, and the later you get it the worse it is, so as an adult when you get it good night sweet princess

maybe you have a mild infection with very minor symptoms which passed unnoticed ?


Wow is that possible?

search for "sub clinical" chickenpox
If you don't have chickenpox during childhood you're more susceptible to shingles later in life, which is awful.
advice, dont get it now. i got it just before my eighteenth. badly. doctor said i was in top tenth percentile for adult cases in terms of severity. looked a bit like this:

and like that kid my face was covered in pus
lol my friends and family said they wanted to vomit when they looked at me.
good news is it wasnt as uncomfortable as youd think though.
helped my vanity: i was no longer embarassed by acne lol.

Nope, it's not weird. My mum didn't get chickenpox until her late twenties when she caught it off me :biggrin:.

I thought some people get it even after?


Yes, it's very very unlikely but it is possible. As are most things so to speak :smile:
I'm 52 and never had it. My mother never had it. Her mother never had it.
