There are a handful of illnesses one can only contract once, including the mumps, chicken pox, and mono.
After fighting of a sickness once, your immune system knows how to kill it and can automatically do away with it the next time you are exposed. The reason you can get the cold and the flu more than once is because they are two illnesses that are constantly mutating, making it impossible for your immune system to "memorize" how to defeat them.
Hope that helped.

This is incorrect, mumps and chicken pox you can both have more than once. It is rare for this to happen, but it can happen.
This is in high part true but then again I am one of the current people who have suffered the mumps more than once. In fact, I currently am.
Mumps is a viral infection. like most of the viral infections, you get life long immunity to this disease and second attack is very uncommon. Why the immunity is life long in cases of viral infections is not known.
yes but there is a very small chance you will get it twice. mostly you will gain a life long immunity to the mumps
Yes, you can get the mumps more than once. In fact, you can get them several times.
