Shingles is caused by the same virus (a type of herpes virus) that causes chickenpox. Even after you're done with your childhood chickenpox, the virus will always live in your body, only to come out later in life. When they come out of their dormant state, they cause the painful lesions called shingles. Though there exists a vaccine for the prevention, the only treatment is antivirals to control the breakouts.

Some bacterial and fungal STD's (such as the one that GZ undoubtedly experiences) can be completely cured by antibiotics, though the viral STD's (viral) are there for life (like Herpes and Hepatitis!)

The more you know!!
**BUZZKILL DONE**
What is an LXA shingle though? Is this just a coat of arms signed by the I-team?

From the looks of it I would say they are talking about our initiation certificates? I have GHA Ed Leonard and GHG Gregory Smith.

LOL, funny Adam!

You pill learning pusher are correct!

The shingle is correct with the Seal, Name LXA/Yours saying you are a duly initiated member of Lambda Chi Alpha.

What you are refering to Albert was as it used to be called a form 25 and was signed by the I-Team and all Brothers in attendance for the super special occasion.

I hope we never never get away from that as it is a special thing to have always.

I prefer Form 24 though... The previous Φ had a jpg of it that we keep on a flash drive - our last ELC wanted and got a copy of it - he had never seen it on computer before...

Sooo, shingle is another name for initiation certificate then... well it's not surprising that I still have my original (Fall 2006); my GHA and GHG will be the same as Trey's then.

Mine was signed by Ted Grossnickle and Greg Smith.

I also have my signed CoA from Initiation, it's hanging in my room with my other signed CoAs from IRT and SAC.

Oh and I have my Impact Leadership cert too, complete with three shiny gold stickers.

There was large C of A that Matt T sent to me signed by all of the members of Un. Fl. It was for an Auction that we do twice a year but got to me to late. It is now framed and haging in our house as a reminder that we are all Brothers.

It was not from IHQ, his Zeta had it made and was uber sweet!

PS, mine at colonization was signed by George Spasyk and the Brothers from Drury Un.

It too is framed. Very special to me!
