Latest Shingles FAQ's

Thank you for your response. Sorry I failed to mention where my rash is. I have it starting on my chin, traveling down my neck and behind my ear and back to the base of my spine. I figure I can cover my neck area by turning up the collar on a golf shirt. I'm not too sure about the chin area, but, am thinking about wearing a large brimmed hat. After reading most of your website and responses to individuals' question, I didn't think I could give anyone chicken pox (and, I know, it would be someone who hadn't already had chicken pox), unless they came in contact with the fluid from my blisters. I don't intend to touch anyone at the golf tournament or the football game. Is it still unsafe for me to attend the events since the virus cannot be contracted via airborne particles? And, additional question, too, please... does heat, like 95 degree weather, effect the rash? Thanks so much, again. If it matters, I'm a 46 year old female.
