🦠 What is Shingles?
Shingles is a painful skin rash caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus—the same virus that causes chickenpox. It can affect anyone who has had chickenpox, but it is more common in older adults and those with weakened immune systems.
⚠ Symptoms of Shingles Include:
🔴 Painful rash, usually on one side of the body
🔥 Tingling or burning sensation before the rash appears
💦 Blisters that scab over in 7 to 10 days
🤒 Fever, headache, or upset stomach in some cases

✔ Reduce Your Risk – Prevents shingles and complications like long-lasting nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia)
