   Shingles is not particularly catching AFAIK. It is another outbreak of the   
   chickenpox that the person got earlier in life, went dormant in the   
   roots of the nerves and then, for some reason, burst out again. I got it   
   about 40 years ago. It is a bizarre feeling, as the pain along a nerve   
   ramps up over a few minutes to quite intense, and then will suddenly (   
   within a second) switch off completely, and the cycle repeats.
