“If you contracted chicken pox as a kid, you’re in the strike zone for shingles. (This wasn’t mentioned elsewhere.)”
Everyone over 40 had Chicken Pox as a kid.
No...

We shipped my daughter over to her cousins’ house for a sleepover in hopes she would contract chicken pox, which is MUCH easier to endure as a kid than as an adult. No joy. Far as I know, she never caught it.
