You share your food, your share, your antacid, the air you breathe and even bring home the same "fiber" he works home for her to wash !!
He exposes to asthmatic environment but he also brings the asthmatic environment home by bringing the dirty clothing, the dusts and etc.
He and she share the stress together !!!!!!!!!!!!

It does sound a bit weird.Stretching it...I guess we could say all these.I can understand asthma though...they'd have the same indoor air pollutants...I remember a path teacher back at medical school making a big deal about indoor air pollution but they'd both have to be susceptible.

but for asthma both have to be susceptible, like cyra also pointed out.
about HTN, the same lifestyle can definitely contribute. and depression too is understandable. thanks guys. discussing this made me think in a better way too about this.

On the other hand, peptic ulcer disease is caused by infectious agent...if one has it, why second one wouldn't get it?...I guess it's 5.-all of the above

found this on the CDC site-
" H pylori most likely spreads from person to person through feco-oral or oral-oral routes. also possible environmental sources like contaminated water. and also through contaminated endoscopes(but this is easily prevented by proper cleaning of the equipment."
so it does spread from person to person. good, i had not thought about this till now although i should have because i knew that peptic ulcer dz is caused by an infectious agent.
the answer was always 5. i was just trying to understand it. thanks guys.

This question actually was made up by me (AAAAA)
based on a research paper !
Peptic ulcer disease is caused by H. pylori and overuse
of NSAIDS and steroids.
So someone here pointed out H. pylori is an infectious
agent and is actually passed from oral-oral route.
You don't kiss your wife and pass the H. pylori?
Hahahah !

Please "read my lips".
You don't kiss your wife and pass the H. pylori, don't you ? hahha (please it is written as a question but actually present as a statement that "we" all kiss our wives and pass the H. pylori.
