a person wanted to know why is everyone getting shingles nowadays i mean it seems
like everyone's getting shingles now that's a bit of an exaggeration but there definitely
is an increase in the amount of people getting shingles now what is shingles
it's a virus it's called herpes zoster and it's a virus that remains dormant for many many years
and then it can come out and create all sorts of pain and misery especially on the surface of the
skin that follows nerves around your rib cage it can come up through your back through the front
in fact it can become so painful certain people become suicidal so it's a really big deal normally
one and a half to 2.5 people out of a thousand will get shingles okay but between 2000 and 2007
three of a thousand people are getting it so it's definitely going up and there's even a higher
incidence of people getting shingles in certain areas of the country which i'm going to talk about
so you have a situation where this virus is in a dormant stage and it's just waiting there
it's not doing anything it's waiting for the right environment so that it can come out
and create a lot of discomfort for you has to do with how healthy your immune system is if
there's anything suppressing your immune system that's when it comes out so again the topic of
viruses come down to your own immune system is it healthy is it weak it's an area that
not many people emphasize but it's not until your immune system gets weakened or suppressed
that this virus then comes out and creates the problem so let's talk about what can trigger
this virus coming out of remission number one drugs for cancer drugs for asthma
prednisone drugs for autoimmune diseases all will suppress your immune system number three radiation
has a strong effect of bringing this virus out of remission so how are you exposed to radiation
