Can you get shingles from a child who has chickenpox?
No, 'Shingles' itself is not a condition that can be 'caught'. When someone first catches the virus Herpes zoster, the first symptoms they will develop is what we call 'chicken pox'. However once this condition passes, the virus remains in the body, and can cause shingles to develop many years later. If you've never had chicken pix before, then you may catch it from an infected child. However if you have had it before, then technically you are still actually infected by the virus, and contact with the child won't cause you to get chicken pox again, nor can it trigger shingles to develop.
Is shingles contagious before the rash breaks out?
