Pre Med I
Actually shingles is a form of herpes which we all have present in our bodies. It can manifest itself at the time of stress, but not exclusively. The virus attacks a nerve ending which usually causes a rash at that location.(not always) The virus follows that nerve to it's ending and usually causes terrible pain at that location. Stay tuned for more pre med lessons.
