Chickenpox: It depends. If you have had chickenpox, then you are fine. Your body has built up natural immunity. Being exposed should not make you sick. If you have NOT had chickenpox, BE CAREFUL. Getting the illness as an adult can be dreadful, and getting pregnant with chickenpox could effect your unborn child.
