You'll have to excuse me, I don't work in fahrenheit - I just tried another converter and it gave me a different answer??

What is 105 in celcius - then I can comment, I should think.

Apologies for this, I'm a tad confused by how converters can say different things!! :?:

Ahh, sorry. I'll fix that to add Celsius!

I actually work in Celsius too!

Ahhh! :D

Ok... the first and apparently wrong converter I found said 39 degrees C, which should explain my previous post!! Sorry for the misunderstanding!!

I had chicken pox as a kid, no vaccine... I don't know anyone who hasn't had it, I don't know anyone who had anything more than itchy spots for a few days and a fever from it, I certainly have never heard of anyone dying from it or getting seriously ill, I've never heard of anyone with shingles... I really don't see the point in the vaccine. Just get it the natural way when you're young; best immunity you'll get.


When I had the chicken pox in kindergarten I had a fever of 105. Also, even though I didn't scratch, I have scars.

In 7th grade, my math teacher got shingles and was hospitalized for it.


Normally in children Chickenpox is a mild illness. In adults, it can be a serious matter. While it is not common there are cases where Chickenpox can put you in the hospital and kill. After my bout with Chickenpox about three years later, I happened to get shingles. Strangely enough though, I only had a mild case of it. It was more of an annoyance than anything else and it only lasted about one and a half weeks.
