    If I remember right, it's only really dangerous if you get it as an adult. As a kid you get bumpy/itchy and then it goes away.

    It can kill adults without immunity.

      yeah, like 10 years before the vax was around, I remember the only fear about it was for adults who hadn't gotten it as a kid. chance of severe symptoms and death skyrocket for adults and it's stupidly contagious. and it seemed like it was always around, moving through the schools. it seemed like if you wanted a job that involved working with kids, you better have already had it as a kid.

      and it's not like the kid I got it from had to spit in my mouth. we just hung out in the same room for lunch, watched tv and he showed me his blisters.
