Probably an old wives tale. Sounds very very weird. I have no idea how that would help at all, not to rational.

Ok I’ve looked here and on the net but no one seems to know what the incubation stage is on Shingles. Someone I know was diagnosed today with Shingles and the doctor didn’t say how long she was contagious….I worry about my mother in law because she was with this person last week and the MIL is not in a healthy state as it is. Thank you in advance!

Shingles is not contagious. A person with Shingles can pass the virus to individuals who have never had Chicken Pox,but these individuals will develope chicken pox, not Shingles. Shingles occurs, only when the virus that caused Chicken Pox,which has stayed in the body for many years becomes active again. If your MIL had Chicken Pox when she was young, then you need not to worry.

okay I have shingles and I’m just 12 years old and I have had them before but I’ve been reading up and i have this pain where i had them last time it been here about two days and yes I’m almost crying it hurts so bad. I’ve taken Advil to stop it but sadly it did nothing but make it hurt a bit less so I want to know if shingles are starting. Oh and last time I had a burning feeling were I had it last time and it was a spread all over my body. HELP!!!

Your parents should take you to a doctor. That sucks that you’ve had shingles when you’re just 12; I thought only older people got those.
