Hi Dave,
        I too have Rosacia. So far all the accounts I've read show no
relationships.  There are two web sites which have quite a bit of
information on our condition.  They are:
 
The Acne Rosacea Chapter
http://matrix.ucdavis.edu/DOJvol1num2/review/rosacea.html
 
AND
 
National Rosacea Society
http://www.rosacea.org/home.html
 
        I have found their information very helpful.  Also, I am seeing my
dermatologist and faithfully following a prescribed regemine to control my
outbreaks.  This includes medications and diet modifications.  (like we
don't have enough to worry about with the loss of grains from our diets)
:-(
 
        There are environmental as well as chemical triggers for this
condition.  The complete listing for these is at the N.R.S. site.
 
Do any others on the list suffer with acne rosacia?
