Travelling with young children is stressful enough, as it is, without having fellow passengers tut-tutting in your ear all the time!
Not at all I have 4 of my own and have in the past had terrible flights with them screaming non stop. My point was about misbehaved, not crying children

Yes shingles is horrible and the pain can go on for years.

I think its a common misconception that a person with chickenpox can spread it to another giving them shingles, its not the case even though the virus is the same (though someone who hasn't had chickenpox can contract chickenpox from shingles)

It is contracted from within the person - once someone has had chickenpox the virus is 'dormant' and can sometimes 'awaken' causing shingles.
But it comes from inside the person not an outside source.

I got chicken pox when I was 27. Work wouldn't believe me, everything worked out fine I got two weeks off and a great view of the Premiership Final for some reason all the calomine lotion on my face seemed to scare everyone away from me
