This age and gender pattern is similar to prior studies of cryptogenic cirrhosis in other regions (Fig. 1).1,2,32,33 Although there is some diversity in the data presented in this report, we found that obesity and Type 2 diabetes were the most prevalent risk factors in cryptogenic cirrhosis.
Are Bed Bugs Contagious? Bed bugs are not contagious; they are insects, not an illness. However, bed bug infestations can spread from place to place easily and by many methods. Bed bugs are often found in hotel rooms; if you travel regularly, you are at an increased risk of developing a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs can crawl into luggage and be carried home.
Bed bugs are able to survive for up to 18 months without feeding. They hide in crevices on mattresses, furniture, along baseboards, and just about any other area that is protected. Bed bugs can attach themselves to luggage, clothing, and furniture and are spread when these items are moved.They will also quickly spread in buildings such as apartments and dormitories that have multiple units within close proximity. Remove bedding materials and mattress and box springs. 2  Wash bedding materials and dry at medium or high heat. 3  Throw out items that cannot be thoroughly cleaned, treated, or inspected. 4  Contact a licensed pest management professional to identify and treat for bed bugs.
