Do Vegans Get The Chicken Pox?



Well the answer is most definitely, YES! Call it the Tofu Pox, or what have you, they are no fun for anyone.

You would also think that after undergoing the agony of deciding to immunize (even for the Chicken Pox) that we/he would not have to go through it, but not so. One of the side effects of growing his world it seems.

The good news...it was a very mild case, apparently because he had been immunized. Mostly on his knees ankles and a few strays on his arms and the top of his hands. The bad news... they were all in his mouth and it was excruciating for him. Couldn't eat or nurse much for a couple of days. Ice chips were the constant request. Poor pumpkin.

It was also a bit tough to diagnose since it did not present in the "normal" way. Well I guess that's what happens when Vegans get the Chicken Pox!
