Babies do not develop shingles before chicken pox. Vise verse is true.
No. You can however catch chickenpox from the shingles if you've never had them before. The shingles themselves come from a dormant chickenpox virus in your skin tissue.
If the shingles are buckled they need to be removed before applying new ones. If they are in fair shape, then keep the old shingles on if there is only one layer.
The condition of the shingles and wood underneath help to determine this. If the wood is good and shingles are mostly still there, some cities allow two or three roofs on top of each other before all of the shingles must be removed.
Shingles cannot be transmitted from person to person but the chicken box virus that causes shingles can be passed on to someone who has never contracted the shingles virus before. When the shingles rash has developed it is contagious but is not likely to be passed to another person if it is covered up.
