Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is not contagious and is not spread but develops endogenously within the body.

There were 55,216 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosed in the United States in 2005 (the most recent year for which statistics are available), and in that year, 20,873 people died from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. There is strong evidence from around the world that drinking Alcoholic Beverages reduces the risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
