Some parents are choosing the former. Many are so fearful of vaccines for their children that they have resorted to social networking to immunize their children, in this case, against chicken pox, by purchasing items infected with the virus. A Facebook group called “Find a Pox Party” offers a way for parents to obtain infected lollipops, spit, and Q-tips, reports CBS News.
The report goes on to say that a Nashville, Tennessee woman advertised lollipops that her infected children had licked as a way for other children to get immunized without the need for a shot. The U.S. attorney for that part of the state says the practice is illegal and that people found selling them could be prosecuted.
