be at higher risk of getting shingles. Have no idea if that is true or not.

There is speculation that having a "light" case of chicken pox as a child may increase the chances of getting shingles later in life. Fewer lesions may equate to lesser immune response which lets the virus wake up later on.

Trouble is, there is no clear definition of "light", and self-reporting of a childhood illness by an adult is not very reliable.
