Thank you for all the answers I received. Most people referred me to : http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/skin/chicken_pox.html which basically says that it takes its name from the latin "cincer" for chick pea, which is what the blisters supposedly resemble. Another possibility is that it comes from the Old English "gican" which means to itch ( from the Silverstein book Chicken Pox and Shingles) Thank you all- health teacher was very grateful for the information. ===== Grace Oliff, Librarian Ann Blanche Smith E.S 1000 Hillsdale Ave. Hillsdale, N.J. 07642 grace_1335@yahoo.com Library Web Page- http://home.earthlink.net/~david916 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
