Shingles

About Shingles

If you have had chickenpox, shingles is not contagious. Nothing will happen to you if you are exposed to someone who has shingles. If you have never had chickenpox, however, avoid contact with anyone who has shingles; the fluid from their open blisters is infectious. You will not get shingles, but you could get chickenpox if exposed.
