Dr. Graham,

My daughter has a chance to be "exposed" to the chickenpox and I am wondering if this is a good or bad idea. From what I understand most people believe it's better to get it while young because it isn't as severe. I have no idea if that is true or not but my wife wants to purposefully give it to her and I am wary of doing that. Can you provide advice as to whether we should do this or not? My daughter has been raw vegan her whole life with a few cooked vegan exceptions and she is still breast feeding a little. She rarely gets sick and she is almost 2.5 years old. Thanks.
