I don't think I have ever been bitten by sand fleas. I was bitten by chiggers , though. They itch like crazy. At first, I did not know what they were. They looked like innocent little red dots until I noticed they moved! Too late ! I ran for cover.
This is what I know about shingles. It is not much. There is a vaccine for shingles which is recommended especially because as it was said it is a condition that is extremely painful. Also, those of us who had chicken pox are susceptible of getting shingles. Isn't that the pits?
However, it is not recommended for those of us who have ms. It is also a new vaccine, which makes a double no for us.
I am wondering though, in general, should our children be vaccinated agains shingles since most of them had the chicken pox?
