Hi Jack, Please bear with me. I had to go back to the doc with my shingles. They're not supposed to be contagious, but my daughter-in-law who lives right in front of me has them now. I did not touch her while I had the blisters. but, the pain is terrible. Her doc told her that nerves is what causes it. Lord being my helper i will get over to Lonoke today.
