When my sisters both got mumps, and measles, I didn't. The doctor told my mom "let her sleep in the same room, and eat off their plates" so that I would get them also. She replied "Do you really think I'm trying to stop her from getting them?" We were a military family, only had 2 bedrooms, us kids all slept in the same bed, never mind the same room.
BTW, I've never had measles or mumps.
Thought of one from my grandfather - rub a gold ring on an stye to heal it faster.
That last one about rubbing a gold ring on a style made me think of Aladdin rubbing the magic lamp for some crazy reason.
