If this were small pox there would be deaths. I suspect chicken or cow pox. If it is coxpox these kids are now immune to chicken pox unlike us.

No, exposure to cowpox begets resistance or immunity to smallpox, not chicken pox. Chicken pox is not a true pox at all, but a herpes virus.

Cowpox generally presents with a single localized lesion. So I think this is chicken pox. And I know you meant to say that if it were cowpox, these kids are now immune to *smallpox*, unlike us.
LOL I am in an agricultural community bigtime and I keep wishing for a cowpox case. Apparently - none in the US for quite some time though...darn it. If I had found one I would run my kids over there asap and smear it on them. LOL.
