Wobbly	Don't worry about it at all. There's nothing the doctor could do. If you get it, you get it. If you don't, you don't! Nothing you can do about it really. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cinderella	I wouldn't worry i didn't get chicken pox until i was 14 Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Starlyn	Why in the heck would you be worried by this? Maybe you had the vaccination on your friends didn't... Both of my kids were vaccinated.

vron	dont worry about it. ive neva had it. my brother got it when he was 27 and was glad for the time off work, i used to rub his arm with just to catch it but never did. xx Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mystery	why would you worry??? I had it at 18! you'll get it at some stage, unless you're very very lucky, but no point worrying because there's nothing to worry about. A small percentage of the population are also immune to certain illnesses so perhaps you'll never get it. Also i'm now 35 and have never had mumps.my best friends mum had them at 54! can't wait for that to hit!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

acey5654	Consider yourself lucky. Yes some people get this wonderful, itchy, pain in the butt episode when they are younger, but others will get in later on in life. Just enjoy yourself and take care of your body. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kj	If you get chicken pox as a child, you'll get it out of the way and you won't get it again. If you don't get it as a child, but do get it as an adult it will be harder on you then. When our son was about 10, and hadn't gotten it.......I let him go over and play with a kid who did have it and he got it. However, I am now finding out that anybody who does get chicken pox is more likely to get shingles at an older age, which is pretty tough, too. Basically, I think you should ask your doctor what he thinks. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jovi Freak	so whats your problem, you want chickenpox ! I got it when I was 15 it wasn't nice. Just think yourself lucky that you've never had it, forget about it and get one with living. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Puzzler	My daughter did not have them until she was 21 and got them from helping to treat a child in the doctor's office where she worked. She was lucky and had a mild case but you should probably at least talk to your doctor and see what he recommends. (By the way, she was just 2 weeks from her wedding at the time!......you want to avoid a complication like that if possible!) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

babette g	You were probably given the chicken pox vaccine or were not exposed to droplets or in direct contact. Check with your mother if she does not remember then check with your doctor for your immunization records. If you were not given the vaccine, get it. Don't worry. I you are exposed there is a varicella-zoster Immune Globulin to stop the varicella virus if given within 72 hours of exposure. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sammikins	I never had it my whole life and then when i was 18 my little sister got it and i didnt want it so i went to the doctor and got a vaccine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mandy VZ	I didn't get them until I was 18. Why are you so wrried about it? My case at 18 was pretty bad but it's just uncomfortabvle, it isn't like it's gonna kill you. Just forget it nad if you never get them, feel blessed. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pat	I am 40 years old and haven't had them either. Nothing to worry about. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

eae	don't u worry...i am in my 30s and never had chicken pox. Actually, all of us in the family aged without having that. I never worry. Perhaps, you have had your vaccine that's why you never got one. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sanny	Enjoy your good health. Maybe your a carrier and wont get them at all. They're not very nice so be thankful. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

~Kitana~	I'm 30 and I still can't catch it either! My son, all my younger sisters and cousins all have had around me and I actually got jealous! There is no way we can get it if we haven't got it by now I'm afraid. Think we may be susceptible to shingles later on in life tho. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

silverchick_8	I'm 23 and I've never had them either.. It's really no big deal.. You can get a shot so that you won't get them... Everyone says it's best to get them when you are younger, but it's nothing to worry about it.. I'm just fine, and I hope I never get them! I guess you could call the doctor about getting the shot if you wanted to? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Oracle	you do not want it. The virus stays in your system and can come out years later as shingles which is a very, very painful condition which last about six weeks but which can also leave you with pain for life. Rejoice you have not had chicken pox!!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bluenjet	Don't worry!! speak to your doctor about whether you should expose yourself to it. You might still be young enough for it not to affect you too badly. I had it when I was 17 and it really knocked me about. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MissSuperStar	I'm 15 and it was a requirement for me to get vaccinated from the chickenpox to start school, so most likely it was a requirement for you too so you probably have nothing to worry about those already exposed to it weren't able to get vaccinated so that why they probably got them Was this answer helpful to you?

Mrs. Depp	heyy I'm 14 and I had chicken pox when I was 4. What I think you should do is talk to your doctor about getting a vaccine. A vaccine is basically a weakened version of the illness. When you are injected with chicken pox your body creates antibodies to fight the disease. Since the vaccine is a weak form of the illness, the antibodies will destroy it. When you finally do get chicken pox, your body will still have antibodies left over from when it fought the vaccine so you don't have to worry about getting really sick b/c your body already knows how to fight the illness. They did this kind of thing a long time ago with small pox only they'd scratch a baby and put the pus of a small pox onto the scratch. The baby would suffer from a mild form of the diesease but then it'd be immune to it for the rest of its life. I hope this helps. Anna :D <3 Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
