Cool!

Cuz I had either measles or chick pox as a kid, but I don’t recall which.

I had them both. Also had the mumps. In those days there were no vaccines and having these childhood diseases was rather routine — like a rite of passage or something.

I can’t remember if I had measles or not. I do recall having chicken pox and two outbreaks of shingles over the years did a great job of refreshing my memory on that.

There is already a test to see if you had chickenpox. If you test positive you should get the shingles vaccine. Shingles is nasty and you definitely want to avoid it.
