[RC]   uveitis - Libby & Quentin Llop
 
Marcy:
    Not contagious, very serious (can lead to blindness), allergic basis.
Sometimes the allergy is related to a locally common bacteria in the
environment; this does not, however, make it contagious.  Like other
allergies, it tends to run in families.  Every region of the country has its
own causes & best management plans.  In our region, vaccinating against
Leptospirosis seems to reduce the incidence.
