This process has been known for decades. When I had chicken pox as a kid, I only had a few spots. Doctor warned my mother that the trouble is people later in life will reinfect. This is what is called shingles.
Yep, me and my siblings couldn't seem to get chicken pox until we were in our teens. Mom would host pox parties, wouldn't get it.
It was pretty bad for us when we did get it. I'm wondering what the chances of shingles are for us since we were so much older than most who get it.
