A few days ago, I visited my grandparents, then I found out that my grandma has shingles, yesterday. While I did not touch her, I am an amateur magician and did a coin trick for her and she DID touch my coin that I brought with me to do the magic trick with. Could I get shingles from that and if so, what would the symptoms be? As of right now, I'm feeling okay, so is there a chance that I won't come down with shingles at all?

Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox, so if you've already had chicken pox and are otherwise in good health, you are unlikely to get shingles.

RE: is it adequate for my infant to be round any individual who has been uncovered to shingles? My infant and I have medical professionals appointments on Friday. The handiest man or woman to be had to take us is my buddy. My buddy simply found out that her grandmother has shingles. My buddy has had the chook pox vaccine so the nurses say that she (the buddy) might not be in chance to get it. My youngster has no longer has any vaccines but. Should I attempt to uncover one more journey or simply cross together with her?

I have had shingles. I'm only 15 now and had chicken pox when i was 2 1/2 - 3. I went to school for 3 weeks with shingles and got 3 people who are 'virgins' to the chicken pox virus ill with them. If you have already had chicken pox you will not get shingles.
