It’s sort of like in a horror movie – the baddie always comes back one more time.

The virus which causes chickenpox lies dormant but sometimes reactivates in adult life. Nobody really knows what triggers it, but being re-exposed to the chickenpox virus (EG. If your kids get it) is NOT how it happens.
