    I had the shingles on one side of my face about 2 months ago..Look like someone beat me with a baseball bat. Hurt Like Heck. My nerves from my mouth to one eye still tingles. But, I look like my old self again.

    They are shingles for roofs. We haul a lot of them. Where did you pick these up out of curiousity?

    Since everyone beat me to the infection type. I will give a real answer. They could be wooded ones. Obiviously you know what the asphalt ones are but there are several types of shines from wood to metal. Good luck

    Its herpes zoster virus and hurts like crazy. If you already have the blisters, not much you can do except ride it out. If you had chicken pox as a kid, it sits in the neural bundles and comes out when your immune system gets worn down.

    Speak with your doc, but there an antiviral that can help if you catch it early. Here's a good link. http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-a...topic-overview

    Best of luck.

    Shingles are also used for siding. Ain't ya ever seen nice Cedar shingles on a wall?

    Or sometimes the agent assumes it's shingles and you end up with felt rolls.






    ... and shame on you Adam!
