Not sure although I will have the answer tomorrow as a family member has shingles.
No. Shingles is not contagious, but someone with shingles can give chicken pox or varicella to someone who has not had chicken pox before.
Shingles is caused by the chickenpox virus. You do not get shingles from someone with shingles; you get chickenpox from someone with shingles. Then when you get older, you will get shingles because you had chickenpox. Or, you might get older and never get chickenpox. In that case, you will thank your mother for having you vaccinated against chickenpox when you were a child.
No, it is not.
You can be infected with shingles through direct contact with someone inffected of the virus.
You can't get shingles from someone with chickenpox, whatever your other medical conditions. You only get shingles from reactivation of your own prior infection with chickenpox virus.
You can get chickenpox, but not shingles, from someone with shingles. You can only get chickenpox from someone with shingles if you haven't had chickenpox or the vaccine before, and if you have direct contact with wet shingles blisters or sores.
Shingles and chickenpox can only be transferred by someone who is infected.
You could get chicken pox if you have never had it before. However, while your chances of getting chicken pox from someone with shingles is in the realm of possibility, you will rarely come across someone with shingles, since they are mostly home with the illness.
There is no "OK" or "Not OK" to it. You either have the shingles symptoms or you don't. It would be exTREMEly unusual for someone as young as age 14 to exhibit shingles symptoms.
First, you can't "catch shingles" from someone. You can get chickenpox from someone who has shingles, but only if two things are true:You have direct contact with the weeping shingles lesions; ANDYou have not had chickenpox or chickenpox vaccine in the past.You can't get chickenpox from someone with shingles if you are immune. You can't get it from being in the same room with them, either. A person with shingles can go about normal activities, including all work or school, as long as the lesions are covered.
Medicare Part B does not cover the shingles vaccine
Yes, it is possible for someone to get chickenpox from a person who has shingles, but it's not easy. You can only get chickenpox from someone with shingles if you come in direct skin-to-skin contact with wet or weeping lesions. Once the lesions are crusted over, you can't get it. Since you haven't had chickenpox, which is the same virus as shingles (that you've now been exposed to), you'll probably end up with chickenpox.
