This is quite right. The herpes zoster virus which produces chicken pox is also responsible for shingles. After chicken pox is contracted and finally abates, the virus hides itself away at the base of the nerves and then when the body is particularly weak, or stressed - it emerges as shingles. This can occur at any time throughout life, as the virus herpes is never eradicated totally. The trick is to keep the immune system at peak condition so it can keep on fighting it. dee
