1) The higgs field permeates everything, there is nothing presently known to us that could shield it. It would require something like the wall of a false vacuum bubble to shield it, or temperatures many orders of magnitude above anything in nature. When a particle such as the electron moves, it ever so often feels a little tug by the higgs field changing the way it propagates, thus being forced to travel below the speed of light. Same for the quarks and electrons in a plank of wood. If those electrons didn't regularly interact with the higgs field, they would lose their mass
and matter would be annihilated.
2) The higgs boson hasn't reached an excitation - it IS the excitation.
