Still got a few scars

Yep, Chicken Pops. Got it at 6 or 7. Didn't contract any other childhood diseases--measles, mumps, etc.

Chicken Pox is rather benign in kids but dangerous in teens and adults. Like someone said it is the same virus that leads to Shingles and can cause infertility and even death in older sufferers.
