Does anyone die because of herpes zoster?

yes if you are a high risk patient

No,I've heard of one case ever and I've been a nurse for 5yrs and currently enrolled for my B.S.N in a nursing program for RN.A young lady that kised a guy at a bar one night that she met there and about a week later started having flu systems and was put in the hospital and treated for everything under the sun and moon.Come to find out she did'nt have what it takes to fight the virus off.It attacked her kidneys which resulted in renal failure,she had mumps all over,her mouth,arms,legs,backetc.It killed her I thnk she was about 27.

Only if Zoster is a gun owner. Then he may be a danger.
