AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the potential link between infertility and susceptibility to chickenpox and other childhood diseases. One participant suggests that infertility may lead to reduced vulnerability to these diseases, prompting questions about the underlying reasons. However, another participant emphasizes the importance of conducting personal research, noting that answers to such questions are readily available online. They clarify that there is no established connection between chickenpox and infertility, and mention that complications like Varicella pneumonia are more common in adults than in children, raising questions about the severity of infections in different age groups.

Maybe... and if it is, it just leads to another question:why does being infertile make you less vulnerable to Chicken pox? or any other kids disease.
 


Have you tried researching this on your own? One reason you have not received much help is because the answer to your question is easily found on the net. Coming here with a question like this that obviously indicates zero work on your part will not garner many responses.

I did, and I haven't found anything...
 
There is no published link between chickpox and infertility. A complication of chickpox is Varicella pneumonia, which occurs more often in adults than children. I'm not sure why the infection would be more severe in adults.
