Chickenpox exposure at work.

Nice, huh? Fortunately I had it when I was like 5 years old, so I'm not too worried about me or the baby. 

I really didn't know that adults still came down with the chickenpox!

(They won't tell us who it is, either. I wanna know!)

Re: Chickenpox exposure at work.

  • bummer.  Start strolling the aisles, who ever is missing the next few days is likely the one.

  • Well if someone got a mild case of it as a kid, they can still get a case of it as an adult. I remember working in the hospital, we had a few extreme chickenpox cases and my coworkers would argue about who would go into isolation to deal with the patient. Since I had an extreme case as a kid, chances are really low to none that I would get it again so I would always go. I actually had one older coworker who had never gotten a case of it. They say it is worse to get as an adult than as a kid. I guess that's why they use to have those chickenpox parties when we were kids.

  • Yikes!!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Has anyone shown up with suspicious long sleeves or turtlenecks? A full face mask?!
  • Can it be harmful to the baby if you've never had it?
  • I haven't seen anyone walking around with masks or scratching themselves, lol. I think the offender has been ordered to stay home!

    And yes, it could potentially be harmful, depending on when in the pg you contract it.
