12 Things Only Victims Of Chicken Pox Will Understand

8. Slipping And Sliding Everywhere

In an attempt to relieve the temptation to scratch your skin off, you'll stock up on calamine lotion and you'll bathe in it. You'll go through bottles in order to try and make sure that your family doesn't make it worse because if you scratch, it can remove the blister and you're left with a scar. You'll probably cut your nails so short that it hurts and you'll wear plastic gloves around the house as these are the only feasible options to stop yourselves from scratching. Although it would be handy to get some cones and put them on your hands, similar to the ones dogs get on their heads to stop them from doing the same thing, but apparently that's not socially acceptable.
