Scott Gottlieb

Smallpox can be personally devastating. After a 14-day incubation period, patients experience high fevers, headaches, and sometimes severe abdominal pain. A rash resembling chicken pox appears in the mouth and throat, face, and forearms, and spreads to the trunk and legs. As patients recover, scabs break and pitted scars appear.

It's true that my research expertise is in biology: for example, the Ebola virus, the Marburg virus, and monkey pox, and not bacteriology as in the case of the anthrax organism. It's also true that I have never, ever worked with anthrax in my life. It's a separate field from the research I was performing at Fort Detrick.

American Scientist

Bonnie Bassler

Think about all kinds of infectious diseases, like mumps or measles or chicken pox. When a virgin population encountered those pathogens, it ravaged the population, and now they're childhood diseases, and eventually they won't even be that. That's our relationship with bacteria, going through time.

Katha Pollitt

If you have been vaccinated for polio, mumps, measles, chicken pox, hepatitis, or rabies, it may be too late for you to stand your ethical ground: You have already benefited from fetal-tissue research. This is, after all, a practice that's been legal since the 1930s.

American Poet

Sarah Snook

I was the understudy to the understudy in a year-two production of 'Big Chief Red Feather.' The boy who had the lead broke his arm, and then the understudy got chicken pox. And I loved it. I got to wear the most feathers in my headdress.

Australian Actress

Lewis Black

This is how sad my life is: I got a scar from scratching my chicken pox too much. That's my big scar story. I really have no major scars.

American Comedian

Victor Davis Hanson

Americans spend more money on Botox, face lifts and tummy tucks than on the age-old scourges of polio, small pox and malaria.

American Historian

Jack Johnson

My friend told me later he got the chicken pox. I told him I caught politics and never got over it.

American Athlete

Often used in historical texts when discussing epidemics that shaped human history.

Historical Importance

Primarily used in medical history, less common in modern medical discussions.

Medical Context

Can refer to similar diseases in animals, like cowpox affecting cattle.

Not Just Humans

Used to express anger or annoyance, implying you want someone to suffer.

Wishing Harm

It's usually not a genuine wish for harm, more a way to vent frustration.

Rarely Serious

Common in Shakespeare's works, reflecting the language of that era.
