Shingles virus is extremely contagious in early stage. You have to be very careful about anyone coming into contact with the sores until they scab over. Good handwashing is a must! See a doctor!!

You may have had rigworm somewhere else on your body and and touched your scalp or someone who had it touched your scalp. Ringworm is highly contagious. You must be sure to wash and disinfect everything that may have come in contact with you and control the area. Do not itch or touch it, if you do make sure you wash your hands immediatley.

Contagious is the wrong word. \nBut they are a suggestion, almost hypnotic, to yawn.\nAs is the word "itch", just the talk of creepy crawlies and itches is enough to start you itching somewhere on your body.\nHope this helps

Are shingles catching? \n\nYes. Shingles can be spread from an affected person to children or adults who have not had chickenpox. Instead of developing shingles, these people develop chickenpox. Once they have had chickenpox, people cannot catch shingles (or contract the virus) from someone else. Once infected, however, persons have the potential to develop shingles later in life. \n\nShingles are contagious, to persons that have not previously had chicken pox, as long as there are new blisters forming and old blisters healing. Once all of the blisters are crusted over, the virus can no longer be spread.

No.  It is very contagious.

This is the truth.  If you had chicken pox....after the rash heals, the varicella virus lays dormant in your body.  It will be there the rest of your life.  IF you get shingles, it is from the dormant virus--you didn't "catch" it from anyone.  And you are ONLY contagious to a person who has NEVER had chicken pox, which means you could give them chicken pox.....NOT shingles.  So, yes...it's true... You cannot get SHINGLES if you never had chicken pox.....but you can still get chicken pox at anytime in your life if you come in contact with it or shingles. \n\nOK?

Yes, you could get them later if you are exposed to them (get near someone who has them during their contagious stage). They are more damaging if you get them as an adult.  You might ask your doctor if you can get a vaccination for them or what recommendation he/she would make for your protection.\nDon't wait, the sooner the better.

Yes! There are a lot of STDS you can get by skin to skin contact or rubbing.\n\nIf a person has genital herpes you can get it by rubbing genital areas together. Even if the person is not having an outbreak, they can be shedding the virus after the sores have disappeared. \n\nHPV is another STD you can by rubbing genital areas together. If the person has genital warts (caused by HPV) and the other person rubs up against them, they can contract HPV.\n\nCrabs (Pubic Lice) is also spread by direct skin to skin contact (like rubbing).\n\nChancroid is another STD that can be spread by direct skin to skin contact.\n\nGonorrhea (Clap) can be spread by any very close physical contact.\n\nScabies can be spread through close contact or through sleeping in bedding or wearing clothes that are infested. Rarely, holding or shaking hands can transmit scabies.\n\nSyphilis can be spread by intimate touching or kissing.

Diabetes is not contagious. People cannot "catch" it from each other. However, certain factors can increase the risk of developing diabetes. \n\nType 1 diabetes occurs equally among males and females, but is more common in whites than in nonwhites. Data from the World Health Organization's Multinational Project for Childhood Diabetes indicate that type 1 diabetes is rare in most African, American Indian, and Asian populations. However, some northern European countries, including Finland and Sweden, have high rates of type 1 diabetes. The reasons for these differences are unknown. \n\nType 2 diabetes is more common in older people, especially in people who are overweight, and occurs more often in African Americans, American Indians, some Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islander Americans, and Hispanic Americans. On average, non-Hispanic African Americans are 1.6 times as likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites of the same age. Hispanic Americans are 1.5 times as likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites of similar age. American Indians have one of the highest rates of diabetes in the world. On average, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 2.2 times as likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites of similar age. Although prevalence data for diabetes among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are limited, some groups, such as Native Hawaiians and Japanese and Filipino residents of Hawaii aged 20 or older, are about twice as likely to have diabetes as white residents of Hawaii of similar age. \n\nThe prevalence of diabetes in the United States is likely to increase for several reasons. First, a large segment of the population is aging. Also, Hispanic Americans and other minority groups make up the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population. Finally, Americans are increasingly overweight and sedentary. According to recent estimates, the prevalence of diabetes in the United States is predicted to reach 8.9 percent of the population by 2025.

The following is a quote taken from http://www.health.org/govpubs/bkd173/18g.aspx\n"A person who is infected with TB but who is not infectious poses no health or safety risk to others. The same may not be said of an individual who has active TB and is contagious."\nAlso, if it were me, and I were in love with someone, it wouldn't matter if they lost their limbs, or had cancer. There are people out there who will love you for yourself, and not for just your health.

Not really, unless the Herpes is active it is not contagious.  If all you have is warts and they are not spreading then you should be ok.  If the person you were having sex with has the warts there are several ways to get rid of them.  One way is to go to a physician and they will use TCA (trichloroacetic acid) to burn them off or they can give you a prescription to use at home (Aldara).

I did a little research and most of the sites I found recommended limited contact for three days, not just one.  Not only did it mention limited contact, but other things like eating and hygeine.  Check these out:\n\nhttp://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/dept/thyroid/raiprep.html\nhttp://www.endocrinologist.com/Radioactive.html\nhttp://www.thyca.org/rai.htm\n\nLook for the "precautions" section.

Scabies is a contagious disorder of the skin caused by very small, wingless insects or mites called the Human Itch mite or Scabies itch mite. The female insect burrows into the skin where she lays 1 - 3 eggs daily. A very small, hard to see, zigzag blister usually marks the trail of the insect as she lays her eggs. Other more obvious symptoms are an intense itching (especially at night) and a red rash that can occur at the area that has been scratched. The most common locations for scabies are on the sides of fingers, between the fingers, on the backs of the hands, on the wrists, heels, elbows, armpits, inner thighs and around the waist. If untreated, the female will continue to lay eggs for about five weeks. The eggs hatch and the new mites begin the cycle all over again. The mites themselves are too small to be seen without magnification. One of the great problems with scabies always has been misdiagnosis. Scabies is spread by personal contact, e.g., by shaking hands or sleeping together or by close contact with infected articles such as clothing, bedding or towels. It is usually found where people are crowded together or have frequent contact, and is most common among school children, families, roommates, and sexual partners. Scabies can be spread by the insect itself or by the egg. Prompt action is required to rid a person of the insects and eggs. Sulfur has been used (6 - 10% in lotion or cream) since Roman times as a scabicide, but you might be allergic. \n\nIf you think your child or someone else in the family has scabies - Try a sauna and/or try bathing, washing or soaking in diluted Lice R Gone® Shampoo, Safe Solutions, Inc. Enzyme Cleaner with Peppermint, or  sulfur and/or borax - then call your medical provider to be sure you are no longer infected. \n\nIf you are still infected, your medical provider or doctor may prescribe a pesticide (poison) lotion - use the prescribed lotion on the body (from the neck down) of the affected person(s). Follow the instruction on the bottle - very carefully. Try Lice R Gone® shampoo and/or Safe Solutions, Inc.'s Enzyme Cleaner with Peppermint and borax or a sauna first, if your doctor will allow it. \n\nExamine all other family members carefully for the presence of scabies - use a magnifying glass. \n\nTo avoid reinfestation, all clothing, towels and bedding should be thoroughly laundered once all those with scabies begin their treatment. Use hot water over 120o F. (equal to hot tap water in most homes). Try washing in Safe Solutions, Inc.'s Enzyme Cleaner with Peppermint and borax. \n\nCombs, brushes, barrettes and anything with which your child has had contact should be soaked in hot water (over 120o F.) and Safe Solutions, Inc.'s Enzyme Cleaner with Peppermint or borax for at least 15 minutes. \n\nPeriodically check your child for symptoms which may indicate reinfection. Expect the rash to clear up in about two weeks. \n\nIn most cases your child can return to school after the first treatment and after all clothing, towels and bedding have been washed.

Unfortunately, the answer is yes! There is a common misconception that Herpes is only contagious when you're having a breakout; it simply isn't true! Herpes is always contagious...it goes through "viral shedding" this can happen at any time. For this reason...it is highly contagious! That is why some people say..."casual" sex isn't so casual anymore!

No hiccups are not contagious but it might be possible to control them.  If one can control the hindbrain then it might be possible to contol ones hiccups...similar to people who can cause their eyes to shake rapidly.  \n\nSometimes if you get the hiccups then physcially try to hiccup again you won't hiccup (my friend does that to his daughter by telling her he'll give her a dollar if she would do it again, she usually can't)
