parents will know - what is the contagious stage for chicken pox? turns out my best friend was just diagnosed with them...

Posted by Andie (aka Andie) Oct 15 '10, 07:27

and she still wants to go shopping tomorrow with me.
She doesn't seem to think this is an issue for her to be wandering around in public.

(she actually had them, really mild, as a child, i'm surprised she has them.)

i had them when i was five, but i had, like, 2 pox. and i know it can show up as shingles in adults. i don't want shingles.
