Mums has been associated with sterility in males as has german measles(female) in cases of physical intellectual birth defects. when i started my nursing back in the early 1970s i saw a lot of severely handicapped people from this but with advent of vaccines etc and immunisation programmes ,plus advances in neonatal medicine its not as common in the modern era

I have had shingles ..................twice incl once on my face / head and I can confirm it is not really very pleasant. I would have rather had my leg cut off with no anesthetic as I think this would have been less painful
