I had a colleague (we’re teachers) who contracted chicken pox at age 40 from a student and almost died. He was in the hospital for six weeks and then off for another six week recovering.

He told me later that he wanted to die during that time because he was so sick and miserable.

We worked (at that time) in a school with a lot of immigrant students from Central America.

I’ve heard that CP are horrible as an adult. Had them as a kid....and two bouts of shingles as an adult during my 20’s and 30’s due to stress. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

I never saw suffering like I saw when the guys (adults) contracted chicken pox. A vaccine is a Godsend for adults who have not had the disease as a child
