    Nice idea. I wouldn't say it's so far fetched considering in the last Sims we had the sims contracting diseases from the guinea pigs.

    What is it about chickenpox that people seem to actually like? Chicken pox (aka varicella, which is a relative of herpes) is not a good disease. It kills and permanently injures more people than you can imagine. Some people just get a few itchy "dew drop on a rose petal" spots, but the secondary infections (like the flesh eating bacteria, which seems to really like chickenpox as a way of starting), varicella encephalitis, varicella pneumonia, varicella hepatitis, varicella keratitis, shingles, generalized varicella and the other complications are far more common than one would think, especially among babies and people over 14. And if you catch it at a "chickenpox party" the likelihood of getting a complication is higher because it get stronger when it passes through a human host like that.

    I thank God that chickenpox is less common now that we have the vaccine. It used to be a nightmare for many pediatricians like me.

    I think what was meant was chicken pox in the game. I'm not sure I'd want my Sims contracting to many diseases though. I figured out the hard way that guinea pigs killed my Sims. He sneezed himself to death.

    My biggest scar is like the size of a penny. It was the first chicken umm, pock that I had. I mean its huge. But at least its not in a very noticable place. On my side, almost below my pants, and always hidden by my shirt!

    (whats the singular for Chicken Pox?)

    Pock. As in pockmark (which is what a chickenpox lesion can leave as a scar.)

    I had chickenpox at 15 months of age and incredibly I remember it. It's my first memory that can be verified. I have multiple scars even though my mom kept my hands completely wrapped.

    Then a few years ago I got shingles. Now I have a new scar where it started under my nose. (I thought I had a serious bacterial infection of the skin when it first started, but it spread "funny" which made it more recognizable as CPX.)
