Another thread just got me thinking and I've been meaning to ask this question for a long time.
Dd2 (7) had chickenpox two years ago. She caught it off a friend and I think it was probably the first opportunity she had to catch it.
The day after dd2 started getting spots Dd1 had a spot that looked like chickenpox. I kept her off school and waited for more to appear. No more appeared and the one spot disappeared by the end of the day.
Dd's shared a bedroom at the time and practically rubbed them together so dd1 could get them while she was young.
But two years on dd1, now 8, still hasn't had chicken pox.
Was the one spot a chicken poc, it certainly looked like one?
How can she not have caught it off dd2 when they shared a bedroom etc?
Can some people be immune without having it?
