  • Yup. Also, shingles presents on one side of the body, not both. This is because it’s following a branch of your nervous system.

    Also if you have a rash that’s “tingling” then call a doc and get on some antivax, it will cut down the length and strength of your symptoms significantly.

    Shingles isn’t usually contagious to people that have had it or chickenpox.

    The chickenpox/shingles lifecycle amazes me. It’s like it was designed to not be stamped out like smallpox through normal methods.

    The chickenpox vax changed the game though, and it’s possible the generation that got vaxd will result in a significant reduction in shingles and more importantly a reduction in shingles pharmaceutical advertising.














  • While I can sort of understand the argument that when the government is shut down it makes food distribution more difficult.

    But I can’t understand a government actively taking action to prevent food distribution by entities that are working around the shutdown.

    1. Isn’t this what supposed to be conservatives want: local government and communities more in control while less bureaucratic involvement at the federal level.
    2. people need food. Is the Republican Party actively trying to start a revolt? Forcing people to organize against the State for food safety has precedents.
