So everyone is getting chickenpox? That's really too bad... I remember having that when I was little, I itched so much. Though taking a warm oatmeal bath was really soothing for the itchiness.

If we have any oatmeal around, maybe the people who are suffering from this could be offered some to help? It won't heal it, but it'll make the itching

Well, currently the only real options in that department are an instant packet of Apple Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar.

That would smell really nice... but probably not have the same effect.

I really don't know what everyone has here, I thought just getting the idea out would be good. I've heard there are doctors... they don't have anything to sooth the itching with either?

Yeah, no kidding.

I remember when I had it, mom and dad gave me that pink lotion...Camomile or Cala- Calmine, I think. You'd dot the spots with it, and it dried them up and it felt okay.

...Maybe we could mix baby powder with water for them or something. Make a paste. We have a big container of that here.

Oh yes, that! I remember that too, the other girls in the orphanage helped me put it on, even though they shouldn't have. They ended up getting it too. We all looked silly with the pink stuff dried all over us.

You know, that sounds like it might just work. That's a really good idea.

Oatmeal bath?! Ew! That sounds so nasty!

How can you bathe in wheat and oats? Yucky...

I am so glad I don't get sick often.

It's a little funny sounding, but it does feel really good when you're all itchy.

I'm glad you don't get sick a lot either, it's never good to be ill.

Maybe I shouldn't have included everyone.

Yup, I'll try not to let it happen again!

I had it when I was really young. Are... people getting it now? Is that what everyone was going on about?

Yeah, it seems a lot of people have caught it. At least no one is suffering too much, besides all the itching that comes along with it.

[kyur4_th_itch]

Well... it's not bad, I don't think. But kind of weird that people are getting it. I heard it was bad?

Re: (Text)

I've heard it can be for adults, as most people catch it when they're little.

Though if you rest a lot and just take care of yourself you should be okay.
