My stepdaughter just had shingles and a friend had it in college. It's Herpes Zoster, it's basically non contagious. The person develops clusters of small fluid filled blisters. I think to even worry about catching it you'd have to come into contact with the blisters when they break, and even then you'd probably need to get the fluid into a cut or something.
You shouldn't have anything to worry about I wouldn't think, but better to be safe than sorry, I suppose.
