inconclusive data

So three more of my students have chicken pox this week.

If I had it when I was three, can I now pass it on again?

Web sources vary on this, and I couldn't track down the school nurse to ask her today. But if you've shared air with me in the past month, consider yourself warned.

The five kids who've caught chicken pox this year are most of my more annoying darlings. Maybe this strain only afflicts the obnoxious. Hm.


** Update! ** The nurse says no, in spite of anecdotal evidence to the contrary.

I had chicken pox when I was 15. MAN, that sucked.

Yeah, I hear it's horrendous as an adult--that's why I was worried.
