Episode 16: Shingles

Hello and welcome to the Health Hits podcast. In the last episode we covered chickenpox, that common viral infection, usually caught in childhood. It can be pretty miserable but the real kicker is that it never really goes away, and comes back to life as a painful, burning, blistering rash. The condition we're talking about is shingles. We'll go over what is actually happening and why, and what we can do when it does strike.
