Chicken pox: Most likely not, you are probably still immune at your age.

Depends: If you truly had wild chickenpox and not another blister producing illness, it provides lifelong immunity. At one time there were 2 million cases/yr in the us and docs did not want you to come to their office, so mom's labeled it.Those that have had bone marrow transplants or immune defects may be at risk.
