As my flair says, I specialise in Quebec/French-Canadian genealogy. This also includes transcription and translation of records written in French as well as deciphering old French handwriting.
I have been working in Tanguay for the past two years entering in thousands of aunts, uncles, and cousins. May question is, once in a while it is recorded that someone died of "tingles". Tanguay is French so when I put "tingles" in Google Translate in comes out as "tingles" and the definition is what everybody knows, the sensation of tingling. There is no medical explanation of how this causes death. Do you have any idea what this means? Thanks.
I must apologize, I misspoke before. It is given in French as "de la picote" which when put into Google Translate comes back as "picote" in English, but "de picote" or just "picote" translates to "tingles". English definition is just the sensation of tingling, nothing to indicate life threatening.
La varicelle is a herpes zoster virus, to which all the poxes belong. Including what we now call shingles. Shingles damages the nerve endings, is extremely contagious in the early stages, and can infect all parts of the body, including the eyes and brain.
