Celebrity mom unclear that chicken pox is contagious
Categories: Babies, Celeb kids, Behaving badly
As a stay-at-home mom, I've had the luxury of being hyper-vigilant about keeping my kids home when they are sick and could possibly contaminate others, which has been approximately 75% of their lives. I've missed family holidays, left vacations early, and home schooled for weeks at time to keep from spreading disease to others.
However, celebrity mom Katie Price decided that the (reality) show must go on. After flying from the UK to California to film scenes for an upcoming reality show, the celebrity personality/model mom discovered her nine-month-old daughter, Princess Tiaamiia, had come down with a case of the chicken pox. Only instead of keeping the child away from the general population and sitting around applying calamine lotion while watching a Yo Gabba Gabba marathon, Princess Tia was drug to various shops and boutiques spreading chicken pox virus in her wake as the cameras rolled.
It's one thing to overlook a slight fever and send a kid with no other symptoms to school and quite another to drag an itchy and pocked baby to trendy stores just to get some footage for a reality series. That's just mean.

She must not be much of a celebrity because I've never heard of her and I Know things ;)
Our school system has a 24 hour no fever/no vomiting rule. I feel like I am one of the few who abides by it sometimes.

I thought chicken pox was contagious BEFORE you actually got the pox marks. So, because of this article I looked it up. Turns out it is MOST contagious at that time, but that the pox themselves could spread and so could coughing and sneezing.
I wish my kids would get exposed though....I'm so very mad we got the vaccine that now turns out we need to get boosters every 4 years or so. Ugh!

still no idea who she is either. But it is still contagiouse til the last pox crusts over.
I have never had it neither has my dad or sister. My daughter had 2 pox. I figure if I didn't get it when My son had it I either had an extremely mild case ( but usually if you get it that mildly you get it again) or I am immune.
I would never get the shot it just isn't that serious of a disease. Mumps, measels yes we get those.
