Answers:
LOL. Shingles arent an allergic diseaseHealth Question & Answer

It's not a matter of being allergic. It IS extremely contagious in certain circumstances. Once the person who is ill with shingles has an outbreak of the rash blisters, they are contagious, until after the crusts on the blisters are healed. They are not contagious pre-blister appearance. If they have blisters and someone else who has no immunity to the virus, from not yet having had chicken pox, comes into direct contact with the blisters, then they are contagious to that person. Shingles come from the chicken pox virus. the person who comes into direct contact with the blisters will go on to have chicken pox, but not necessarily shingles. The virus may lay dormant in their system and they may catch it at a later date. So, your sister should not be in contact with anyone at all if she has blisters. Once the scabs are gone and are healed she can go back to school. Shingles is a horrible disease to have and care should be taken not to pass it on to others. Small babies and elderly people are particularly vulnerable and can die form complications of shingles.Health Question & Answer

Shingles is a viral infection. It is a reactivation of the chicken pox virus with lesions forming on skin. If one comes into direct contact with the fluid inside of the lesions, the virus may be spread to that individual. The teacher may have meant that she has never had chicken pox, and therefore would not be immune to the virus. It is not an allergy, but a susceptibility. With an active outbreak of shingles, with lesions, one should not expose others to it because the virus may be transmitted via the lesions.Health Question & Answer
