Shingles when it infects an adult. It's deadly to adults, like quite a few child-hood illnesses. That's why people used to purposefully get their kids infected with chickenpox because it was benign, and gave their kids life-long immunity. If a reinfection somehow occurred (rare, very rare), it wouldn't be deadly, just painful.
