There is a very special term in Malaysian folk：“生蛇” “Snake”
“Shingles”, many people have heard of shingles, but they don’t know what is that mean.
Shingles, also called Herpes zoster
Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you’ve had chickenpox, the virus lies inactive in nerve tissue near your spinal cord and brain. Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles. Because the skin of the patient will appear erythema and blisters, a pile grows together and looks like a snake, so it is commonly known as a “snake” “生蛇”.
[Myth] Will a “Shingles” go around the body and die?
[Folk Spread]
a “snake” is born, it is necessary to “catch a snake” as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the snake wraps around the waist, the patient will be die.
In fact, this rumor is untrue. Because “snakes” generally don’t wrap around the waist, this is because“Snakes” are mostly born on one side and only occur in areas with nerve distribution. Since the nerve line extends from the spine to the left and right, but the two nerve lines are not connected, the “snake” that occurs along the nerve line will stop at the end of the nerve line.Of course, there are a very small number of people who have “multiple snakes” at the same time, but generally they are not life-threatening.
In summary, “snakes” generally do not wrap around the body.
Only a very small number of patients will have other problems due to poor immunity, such as lung and brain damage, and these will be life-threatening.
