) and this weird woman came over and started talking to us, and telling me my daughter looks just like her daughter and all this, and while this goes on her other daughter was standing quite close to .adriana and talking/playing with her. Well then she tells me how her little one is at home with the flippin' chicken pox!! 
So...since these 2 obviously live with her, can they carry a contagious bug and make my baby sick? This lady's husband also has them I guess. And my cousin said she was pretty sure the girl that was there had the chicken pox as well because she saw the spots on her arm 
I do believe .adriana has been vaccinated against them, but what are her chances? I am sure the girl didn't touch .adriana, but she was standing near her and I don't know if that girl touched the cart .adriana touched (The one she was in) help me

I know. If my daughter gets chicken pox.....
And of all places to be, she was in a busy store (k-mart, but in the little caesars part....where we got our pizza) and on .memorial .day .weekend *sigh*
I am almost positive she's been vaccinated against the pox, I'd have to get in her file to double check....she should be ok, but it just makes me mad that people don't stop and think at the potential risks involved in their decisions.

.i can't remember if their is a vaccine for chicken pox but .i do know that the older you are the harsher it is on the body. .i got it when .i was a baby and my parents tell me that it wasn't that bad for me. .they just put little mittens on so .i wouldn't scratch. .i hope she doesn't catch it but since she was exposed it could happen. .germs are strong little buggers

Thanks! Adriana is a little over 1 (as of .march)
So if she does happen to get them, maybe they won't be too bad.

i've never had chicken pox. .i had the vaccine when i was like 9 or 10.. my sister's had it when they were 2 & 3.. or when they were 3 & 4.. & i never got it. & i know my best friend had them at one point (before i got the vaccine) & everyone was allowed to go to the party because their parents all wanted their kids to get it before they got older.. but my mom wouldn't let me go, lol. i'm pretty sure it's an airborn virus. because we were super surprised & confused that i didn't get it after my sisters got it.
we thought i had them one time.. after i had strep.. turns out i just had really really severe hives & a super high fever 'cause i was highly allergic to amoxicillian.. lol.
