Shingles is a condition which manifests in the form of blisters which contain fluid. This outbreak can cause itching, burning, tingling, and numbness. These blisters appear most commonly around the waistline on one side of the body. They appear in a belt-like pattern. This condition is not exclusively located around the waist area, however. They can also appear on the side of the face, and about the forehead and the eyes which is the next most common area for them to form.
About twenty-five percent of all Americans will be attacked by the Shingles virus at some time. This condition usually affects people who are above forty years old, although it can develop in those who are younger.
The virus which causes Shingles is the same one that is responsible for Chickenpox. So if a person h as been infected with the Chickenpox at any time during their life even if they don't remember it, they will likely develop Shingles as well. This common virus is known as Varicella-Zoster (VZV).
Shingles cannot be passed by anyone else through being around them. Shingles is not located in the upper respiratory system so it cannot be passed into the air. However, if a child touches or come in contact with the blisters of a person affected with this condition, the child will not catch Shingles but he can catch Chickenpox instead. Of course later on in life, the same virus can resurface causing the development of Shingles.
It was proven by scientists during the 1920's and the 1930's by through an experiment, that the same virus which causes Chickenpox is for sure the same one which is responsible for the Shingles. During this experiment Children were given shots containing the fluid from Shingles blisters. In about a couple of weeks, these children were attacked by Chickenpox. The viruses from the patients were analyzed and were proven to be one in the same. This final experiment was performed in 1958.
