An outbreak of shingles even if it appears to you to be a mild case can last anything from a week up to several months to go and remains in your body like a time bomb that may break out at any time when your immune system is low.
Shingles remains dormant in your body once you have contracted the virus which causes it and it may flare up at different times or not at all during the rest of your life and can be triggered or set off after a bout of illness when your bodys defenses arnt as strong as usual or when you are feeling run down or depressed or your age may make you more succeptible to an outbreak also if you have HIV or AIDS and also some medicines which you might be given especially after the transplant of a body organ may trigger it and each time your body shows physical signs of shingles being there such as clusters of blister like spots and sharp needle like pains usually only down one side of your body and the blisters should be treated the same as chicken pox blisters as they are part of the same group of viruses called varicella zoster and some people think that you can contract shingles from a person who has chicken pox but it cant be contracted in this way but chicken pox may be contracted from a person with shingles whilst their blisters are at the weepy stage until they crust or scab over.

When you install shingles over an old layer of shingles do you have to put down felt or do you put the new layer of shingles directly over the old layer?
With composition shingles, no felt is necessary between shingle layers. When the exposure of the shingles is the same as the old exposure, the bottom edge of the old shingles is used as a guide for the upper edge of the new shingles in placement. This ability to place the shingles would be lost if covered with felt.

Can new roofing shingles be put over cedar shake?
When asphalt shingles were first used, it was done all the time. The problem is that the shingles will not lay flat which give the roof an uneven appearance and makes them much easier to puncture by walking on them or with hail. No one does this anymore, strip off the cedar and put plywood or OSB over the space sheathing. More work and expense, but worth it in the long run.
Are there any side effects from shingles vaccine?
Shingles, a painful rash caused by the same agent that causes chicken pox, varicella zoster virus (VZV), commonly occurs in people over 50 who have not previously had chicken pox. If you had a vaccine for shingles (Herpes Zoster) accidentally, or after a possible but undiagnosed case of shingles, there should be little risk of problems, since all the vaccine does is promote production of antibodies, which that person would already have from having had shingles (or chicken pox). If in doubt, call your doctor.
