Shingles is a virus, in the same family as chicken-pox. If you have it, you may feel uncomfortable, but you can certainly work. On the other hand, you may be contagious, which is something to consider before going to work. You cannot give shingles to another person, but you can transmit the virus, especially to a person who never had chicken-pox. The best thing is to get vaccinated to prevent this disease, and if you do get it, to follow your doctor's instructions.

Will heat from sunlight cause shingles to return?

Yes, heat from sunlight can cause shingles to return, particularly in individuals who have previously experienced shingles (herpes zoster). Sunlight can weaken the immune system and increase stress levels, both of which can trigger a recurrence of the virus. Additionally, excessive sun exposure can lead to skin irritation, which might exacerbate symptoms in those prone to shingles. It's essential for individuals with a history of shingles to protect their skin from prolonged sun exposure.
