It is said that, "if you had chicken pox once, there was no chance of suffering from it again." Why is it so?

Solution

The reason is that when a person suffers from chicken pox for the first time the body responds against it and produces antibodies and remembers it. So, the next time the virus attacks, the body responds with more vigour and eliminates the infection even faster than it was originally eliminated.So, there are less chances of suffering from it again.
