It was during the summer &amp; my dad took me out to the beach because he had heard that salt water was good for chicken pox. It totally helped with the itching! I'll try to remember that when we have kids with pox. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-the-chicken-pox#post-131299 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 05:17:46 +0000 Alivoo01 131299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fairly young, probably in 1st or 2nd grade? Few of my classmates had it so I eventually contracted it. It was so darn itchy!! I have a few scars from scratching and picking my chicken pox then at the scab that formed. Gross I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-the-chicken-pox#post-131120 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:26:46 +0000 His Barista 131120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20...I only got it because dh (bf at the time) had gotten shingles.

My two brothers, my mother and I all got it at the same time. It was kinda fun, we all just camped out on spare matresses in the living room and watched movies for a week. My mother ended up in hospital for a few days though, because she got them on her lungs. That was *not* fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-the-chicken-pox#post-131034 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 22:06:13 +0000 enjollah 131034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: same here!
