My 30-year old son just developed chicken pox (while caring for 
his 2.5 yr. old).  Is there any truth to the old wives tail that 
sterility can result?  He is otherwise very healthy.  I've 
searched the web in vain but can't find anything that addresses 
this potential complication.  Your response is greatly 
appreciated.
