I'm old enough to be one of the many kids in life who had "the opportunity" to go to a chickenpox party. It wasn't really called that, and trust me, it was no party, but the purpose was to expose our little kid bodies to the virus that would put spots all over us. And boy, did it! I was one of the lucky ones that also got a fever, everything in my body ached, and I had puss-filled sores in my hair, ears, mouth, feet...you name the body part, I had red, itchy spots on them. I will NEVER forget how sick I was from that "party".
