B,

There have been several epidermiological studies and rosacea
sufferers are not more prone to hypertension, vascular disorders or
genetic disorders. They sometimes experience migraines a tad bit
more frequently then the normal population, but this did not reach
statistical significance. The blood vessels that are dysfunctional
are derived in the embryo from a certain cell line common to only
the face and eyes. Not to any other organs or blood vessels.

Regards,

Geoffrey
