I get e-mails all the time asking me, “Can you get chicken pox more than once?”
The answer is YES.
While Chicken Pox is mostly known as a childhood illness, it is also extremely common amongst adults.
More and more adults are getting the chicken pox who have suffered from the disease once before as a child. And to make matters worse, chicken pox is far more dangerous and serious of a disease to get as an adult.
The adult version of chicken pox is known as shingles.
Shingles usually occurs when one has a weakened immune system. When your immune system is weak, you’re vulnerable to many diseases, chicken pox or shingles being one of them.
Many adults are being hospitalized due to chicken pox or shingles every year – the numbers have increased to almost 11,000 adults per year in the United States. Over 100 people die every year from shingles or chicken pox.
The only reason WHY you would get shingles or get chicken pox more than once as an adult is because your body didn’t build up the immunity to it the first time.
So to answer the question, “Can you get chicken pox more than once?”
Yes, it’s called shingles or herpes zoster.
There are other bad symptoms that go along with it, such as high fever, low energy, insomnia, loss of appetite, etc…
