âBut if theyâre going to get where they need to be to be effective, theyâre going to need a lot more money.â. That may be difficult to muster given the departmentâs spendthrift reputation. In 2002, the federal budget allocated about $20 billion to Homeland Security agencies.
Shingles is a painful rash that develops on one side of the face or body. The rash consists of blisters that typically scab over in 7 to 10 days. The rash usually clears up within 2 to 4 weeks. Before the rash develops, people often have pain, itching, or tingling in the area where the rash will develop.
Each spinal nerve root supplies an area on one half of the body, therefore not allowing the rash to cross the midline. So, if you have a blister-like rash that is on both sides of your body (ex: both arms, across your abdomen) chances are, it is not shingles. The rash may also appear on the face, eyes, mouth, and ears. This can affect major nerves in the area and care should be sought immediately.
