Those chickenpox parties were an awful thing. Later on it was found chicken pox was caused by the Varicella-zoster virus which is related to herpes. Hence the sore breakouts later on known as Shingles.

sounds like you are blaming chicken pox parties for shingles. False equivalence.

It does go dormant. Thats what herpes does. But it never leaves the body. The medical community says not to worry about it but there are alot of factors that we dont understand about viral infections that reside inside the nerves for life.

It is herpes, same family as mono, simplex 1&2, and a couple of other ones. Shingles is a bitch too and I'mm really glad my kid will hopefully never have to experience it.
