In this video, we’re going to talk about why it seems that everyone is getting shingles.
Shingles is a viral infection caused by a virus called herpes zoster, the same virus that causes chickenpox. This virus often lays dormant for many years before creating a severe and painful rash.
Normally, 1.5 to 2.5 out of 1000 people will have shingles on average. However, from 2000 to 2007, there was an average of 3 cases of shingles per 1000 people.
In certain areas, this number can be even higher.
Shingles hides in your nerves in a dormant state until you experience a suppression of immunity.
If your immune system is weakened in any way, you can potentially develop shingles if you have the virus.
Someone with a strong immune system is less likely to have a severe case of shingles.
Certain things can be a trigger for this virus coming out of remission and causing shingles, including:
1. Cancer and asthma drugs
2. Prednisone
3. Radiation
4. Stress
5. A poor diet
6. A lack of sleep
7. Pesticides and insecticides
In more recent years, our exposure to pesticides has increased significantly. I believe that this is causing poor immune function and increased cases of shingles.
