Really? I think most doctors know a lot about those diseases. It's well known that weak cases of mumps or chicken pox do not grant immunity and that getting them as adults can be very very serious.
Unpasteurized milk has bacteria in it, not viruses - but would definitely help your immune system build if started early enough. Adults, again, would be ill-advised to exposed themselves to it.
It's called a "pox" disease because it makes crater-like marks all over the body (google it; google pictures of small pox - small pox is much worse). Pox is an Old English word for "zit" or "spot."
None of the pox diseases were known until humans invented farming and then agriculture and settled down in groups near other animals. Many early infectious diseases come from other animals. Small pox most likely came from rodents in Egypt or Sumeria, once people began storing grain in their homes.

Mumps, so mild in kids, can be terrible for adults. My dad almost died of it around age 26. He wouldn't have been my dad without that incident though, as it rendered him sterile and after about a decade, he finally accepted that idea and he and mom adopted me.
. I try to go every 2 weeks at the least. Any who, I was standing waiting on a prescription, and this older man asked an older lady why she was not covered (no mask, no gloves). Her response, I'm not scared.......
