After a person recovers from the chickenpox, the virus can lie dormant in the dorsal root ganglion in multiple levels of the spinal cord and cranial nerves. Later in life, the virus can be reactivated and travel within a sensory neuron to cause shingles. Do you think it is possible to get shingles more than once?. Why or why not?
