Shingles is evil. I had a bout of it before I turned 40, and my son was even younger when he got it. He was only 34, so it's not exclusively an old people's ailment.

I finally got a shot a few weeks ago, but the doctor told me it's only 50 to 60% effective, so I've really only improved my chances, not completely eliminated the risk.
