Bell's Palsy is caused by a herpes virus, which lay dormant in your system in the root ganglia behind your face - once you have it, it never truly leaves. They come out and cause various conditions during immuno-compromised conditions, which can happen several times throughout your life.

Can being exposed to shingles re activate the virus in YOU?

No, being exposed to shingles itself does not reactivate the varicella-zoster virus (the virus that causes shingles) in someone who has never had chickenpox or received the chickenpox vaccine. However, if you have previously had chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in your body and can be reactivated later in life, leading to shingles. The risk of developing shingles increases with age and certain health conditions.

Can you get the chickenpox from someone who has shingles?

A child who never had chicken pox can be infected with chicken pox from an adult (usually over the age of 50 years) who develops shingles. Contact with the fluid from mucous membranes (coughing, sneezing) or from contact with the fluid that oozes out of the open sores carries the virus. A child who has had chicken pox before cannot get chicken pox from an adult with shingles, nor can the child get shingles (because shingles appears later in life). An adult who has shingles cannot give shingles to another adult--- the 2nd adult would get chicken pox first IF that adult never had chicken pox as a child.
