Telangiectasia Hemorragica Hereditaria is not a contagious disease, but genetic and Hereditary with a 50% chance of transmission to the offspring. If the nosebleeds are the most obvious and tell-tale, it is associated with other problems based on the presence of vascular malformations in other organs which is why it is very important to track them and treat them. It is not a curable disease as there are so many other as high blood pressure, but it HAS treatments for any of the conditions that could cause.
