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.
Most commonly, the rash occurs in a single stripe around either the left or the right side of the body. In other cases, the rash occurs on one side of the face. In rare cases (usually among people with weakened immune systems), the rash may be more widespread and look similar to a chickenpox rash. Shingles can affect the eye and cause loss of vision.
