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.
Yes, molluscum contagiosum is contagious. Molluscum contagiosum is transmitted by either direct person-to-person contact or through contact with contaminated objects, such as shared clothing, towels, washcloths, and toys. This route of transmission is most common in children. In adults, molluscum contagiosum is often acquired through sexual contact. Molluscum contagiosum has also been reported to spread between individuals using the same gym equipment. Furthermore, if an infected person touches the lesions and then touches another part of his or her body, it can cause spread to that area (known as autoinoculation).
