TODAY’S TEST QUESTION:


CORRECT ANSWER:

C) Shingles can cause chicken pox but not directly cause shingles

MORE INFO:

  • Shingles does not directly pass from in person to another.

  • BUT-It’s important to understand that if someone has never had chicken pox before (which is unlikely-most have had chicken pox even if no major rash seen before) exposure to a shingles outbreak can actually cause chicken pox in another person.

  • Anyone who has had chicken pox in their life can potentially get shingles later in life. The varicella zoster virus hangs out in your system in the nerve tissues. You don’t directly spread shingles to another person.

  • There are 2 shingles vaccinations to help prevent shingles, Shingrix being the newest and most effective currently
