Anyhow, there are anti-virals now, discoverd during AIDS research.
My brother had an attack of shingles. He went to the V.A E.R., told them they'll think he's nuts, but his hair hurt, but only on 1/2 of his head. Immediate diagnosis of shingles. And some antiviral. Didn't kill the bugs, but prevent reproduction, so they died off quickly. Probably gone in a week.
