Smallpox_(variola_orthopox_virus_)_Early_Rash_vs_chickenpox.gif


Smallpox is an infectious disease unique to humans, caused by either of two virus variants named Variola major and Variola minor.
Chickenpox is a highly contagious illness caused by primary infection with varicella zoster virus

You can catch chickenpox more than once?

If your immunity still weak.. Yes...

No, it's one time only, obviously, this poll is weird.

Both incorrect.

You shouldn't make comments about things you don't understand.

I know someone has chickenpox twice which is very rare...

Have Chickenpox twice?
The immunity that follows infection with chickenpox is lifelong. Second attacks of chickenpox are rare, although sub-clinical (no symptoms) or very mild re-infections can occur, particularly in patients whose immune systems have been compromised in some way.

Given smallpox is supposed to be eradicated all bar some labs with samples I doubt we will find anyone who had it.

You left out cowpox though:

Myself, never had chickenpox (to both my knowledge and the knowledge of my parents) despite siblings and relatives having severe cases recently and in the past. Hopefully I will not as being slightly older now I know it will take me out of the running for a while.

I've never had smallpox...

I did have chickenpox once though, when I was 12 years old. And a week before I got the shot that makes sure you don't get them but I still got the chickenpox -.-
