When my cousin got Chicken Pox two weeks ago, his Grandmother told him that he could not eat eggs, chicken, "poisonous" food like prawns, lobsters, crabs, squids, octopuses for four months. According to his Grandmother, when a person eats eggs when he has chicken pox, he will have eternal bad breath. And when the person eats chickens, he will have chickenpox again and that the scars will not heal. And if he eats the seafoods, he will get a body full of rashes. I think this is utter NONSENSE, all from the stupid old days where medical science is not advanced. What do u think? And have anyone any experiences?

i jus recovered from chicky pox about 3 weeks ago. infact, the scars are still recovering. anyway, those food abstaining thing is bullcrap. the importantly, do not take food that will 'heat' up the body. blacksauce is fine. it goes into ur tummy and gets digested, not as though it enters the blood streeam or skin pigment watsoever.
jus remember to consume cooling stuff like fruit juice. more vitamin c, the better. and drink lotsa fluids to 'wash' the body as much as possible.
when i had my chicky pox, i drank like a cup of water every hour. its craziness. ha. jus my 5 cents worth.

the seafood is true, avoid shellfish.

well... whatever it is, juz treat it as a 3-wk detox prog and abstain from all good food... no harm juz eating porridge and other plain stuff when u r down with chicken pox rite? u can always eat till ur hearts' content when u r well again...

i don't believe in the seafood avoidance thingie simply beacuse there is no conclusive evidence that the old tales are true. chicken pox is a more or less a skin disease caused by a virus, so yeah, maybe that holds some truths. but you have to question where its all coming from, especially in this day and age. also think about this, when you have a flu, the chinese saying is to stay away from chicken, the american way is to take chicken noodle soup. contradicting? definitely. anyways, for those over 18 who haven't got chicekn pox yet? get immunised agaisnt it...it helps you a whole lot...trust me.
