I had a serious case of chickenpox right before I turned 21. All over crust, mouth, eyelids, ears, groin.....I smelled like I was rotting and eventually was hospitalized for two weeks. The nurses took turns or drew straws or something. I pretty much went out of my mind for awhile.

On a positive note, afterwards, I didn't have any kind of acne for like 5 years.
