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.
Bedbugs are attracted to their hosts essentially by carbon-dioxide and by heat. This makes people their first target! You breathe out CO2 while asleep and the bed bugs are highly attracted to you. Additionally, you are warm and you are not moving which also makes you a prime target. Although bed bugs do not fly or jump, they can climb up your bed posts or any bedding thatâs laying on the floor, to get to you while you are sleeping.
