Is shingles contagis

Answer 1

Yes, shingles, which is the adult version of chicken pox, is quite dangerous.
Shingles is contagious to people who have not had chicken pox. They continue to be contagious until the blisters have scabbed over, having Diabetes does not make it worse or more dangerous. See related links.
Not to anyone who has had their bout of Chickenpox.
Type your answer here... ONLY IN THE FIRST 7 DAYS WHILE THEY ARE STILL CONTAGIOUS AND YOU TOUCH AREAS.
Shingle or herpes is contagious.
Nope.
After you have chickenpox (usually as a child), the virus that causes it stays inactive in your body inside certain nerve cells. Most of the time your immune system keeps the virus in these cells. So if you had the virus as a child it is very unlikely that you will develop shingles.

However, if you have never had the virus, there is a very high chance that you may develop it.
I believe a child who has not had chickenpox could get the chickenpox (not shingles) from someone who has shingles. The shingles would need to be blistered with some drainage, which is why it is recommended that those areas be covered until they are scabbed over. Covering the areas and using good handwashing technique should make all the difference in preventing the spread of the illness to others.
no- you get shingles from your own chicken pox virus. However, a person who has not had chicken pox can get chicken pox from a person with shingles.
Shingles are reactivated chickenpox virus someone who never had chickenpox could catch it but usually would need close comtact. Most worrying would be a person with a lowered immune system like someone on cancer treatment.
