Severe stress and fear make a person more susceptible to any disease or infection. Shingles is a virus (the same virus that causes chicken pox in children) that attacks a particular group of nerve roots and will typically travel along those nerves until the virus runs it's course. Older people and people with autoimmune diseases are at higher risk than others. Shingles is a very painful condition that presents with a red line and some times produces blisters on the skin.
