I have too.

I would have thought recrudescence would be the state of being crude again. :P

I thought of this sentence when I saw today's word.

" You thought your shingles outbreak subsided, but instead experienced a recrudescence of the virus.

I first heard it from my mother's physician when she was there for a recurrence of shingles and the doctor called it recrudescence and gave the above quote.  As shingles is a cruelly debilitating disease, I thought the word was perfect.
