Question: If you dont get chicken pox when your a kid will you get them when your an adult!?
Answers:
If you get exposed to someone who has them!. And unfortunately it can be really serious for adults, when it's not so bad for kids!.

There is a vaccine now, so if you have not had them you might want to talk to your doctor about getting the vaccine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Chicken Pox is a very contagious disease!.
So the changes are that you will get this at some point in your life!.
But truth be told, a lot of adults have had chicken pox as a child and didn't even know!
When you think of chicken pox, you think of red itchy marks all over your body, am I right!?
But a lot of the time, as a child, the chicken pox appears like the common cold!. No red itchy sores!.
You've might have had it as a young child and no one knew it was chicken pox, they could easily mistaken it as the common cold!.
Good Luck!

Edit:
Also, as an adult you would become a whole lot more sick then you would have as a child!. When your young you're immune system isn't but is great!. Young kids can get sick easily but get over it quickly without so much problems you might see in an adult!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if you are exposed to it as an adult and you have never gotten it, yes, you can very well get them as an adult!. and its much worse for adults!.

I would recommend the vaccination if you haven't gotten chicken pox yet!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can get them anytime if you have not had them!. Some people are immune and there is a test that can determine this!. If you are not immune as an adult you need to have the vaccine for sure!. Most of the deaths from chicken pox are adults!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have been exposed to the virus, certainly!.

There is a vaccine, which you can get as long as you have not had chicken pox!.

All the best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
