Shingles- know the facts Shingles is caused by chicken pox. If you have been vaccinated or have never had chicken pox then you will never get shingles. Residual chicken pox virus lives dormant in the nerve cells closest to the brain and spine. Later in life it can "reactivate" and spread up the nerve to the skin. It will affect only one half of the body at a time. It will look like chicken pox, but it will hurt, not itch. It is unbelievably painful! If you get a blister near your eye it can cause vision loss. It is usually triggered by a weakened immune system or stress. It is only contagious to those that have not been vaccinated AND have never had chicken pox. It doesn't matter to me if your kids are vaccinated or not. Mine are, so they are safe. I just want to make sure that you know the facts about what you are subjecting your children to later in life if you choose not to vaccinate for chicken pox. This concludes my public service announcement. Have a good day!
