i was 21 when i got shingles. i took my son to a well baby appt. when he was 2 months. i was exposed to 2 brothers that came in for chicken pox. we were in different waiting areas and never came in contact with them. my rash was behind my left ear. i had a lot of health issues with my delivery so the only places i went were to dr. s appt. s. so i believe you only have to breath the air atleast thats all i did. lol
can you get shingles even if you 'do not' touch the infected area or person?
