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.
Years later, the virus can become active, causing shingles. The first symptoms of shingles are unusual skin sensations. These include pain, itching and tingling. Other symptoms include confusion, fatigue, fever, headache, memory loss, an upset stomach and stomach pain. These symptoms generally occur one to five days before a painful rash appears on one side of the body or face. In most people, the rash develops on the torso and extends to the front and the back of the body. The rash forms very painful blisters that typically become scabs in seven to 10 days.
