No, you're done. I got it as an adult too and it wasn't any fun!

Alright, like someone else said, people really should not answer if they don't know for sure.
Chicken pox CAN reoccur/be caught again, it is just rare that this happens. As an adult it is usually worse. Adults can also get a related thing called shingles.
If you really want to know things like this, it would be best to ask your doctor.

I really wish people would not answer if they do not know the correct answer! Yes, you can get chicken pox again, if the first time wasn't bad enough to build up an immunity! I am thirty and I have had them twice, once as a child and once when my son got them......

Yes. Chicken pox does not give lifelong immunity. However, a second attack is very rare except in immunocompromised patients, such as those being treated for cancer. You can get herpes zoster (shingles) though, if the virus remains in the body.
