woohoo Best way to get CP from shingles?

My sister's boyfriend has shingles on his chest. My sister has very
kindly offered to let us expose DD (27 mos). This would be a *perfect*
time for me, and I believe a great age for DD, so I am excited They
live two hours away, so we'll probably only have one shot for a few
hours.

What is best way for me to expose DD? I don't really want to be
rubbing her face up against sister's boyfriend's chest (bit of an ick
factor on both sides, probably). Would him rubbing his chest and
shaking her hand work? or rubbing a lollipop on his chest and giving
it to her? That is *so* gross, but not as gross as the
face-plant-in-chest option.

Are there any detrimental effects of catching Cp from shingles? I have
only ever read that it is the same as being exposed to "wild" chicken
pox.

Thanks in advance for all the advice! I tried a google search, and all
I really came up with was "BE VACCINATED." "

5. What. The. Fuck?
Don't they understand how unpleasant herpes zoster can be? "Ooh, I'm so excited at the prospect of exposing my toddler to a virus which could continue to periodically cause her pain for decades to come". She'll really thank them for that!

6. Classic case of believing the vaccine is worse than the disease
Everyone knows chicken pox/shingles is harmless and NEVER causes pain or serious illness..:crazy: remember what I said about vaccines making people forget how nasty these infectious diseases are?
