How a Kissing Bug Becomes a Balloon Full of Your Blood

A kissing bug gorges on your blood. Then it poops on you. And that poop might contain the parasite that causes Chagas disease, which can be deadly. Without knowing it, millions of people have gotten the parasite in Latin America, where these insects live in many rural homes. As if that wasnt bad enough, the saliva of some kissing bugs in the U. S. can give you a dangerous allergic reaction

Got bitten by one of these critters and I almost died due to the allergic reaction. My face was swollen and I was gasping for air. I'm from the Philippines, less than a kilometer from BGC. We had our house cleaned several times but they seem to be coming from elsewhere. There are tons of construction work in BGC and if you look carefully enough when walking around the building construction sites there you may come across one of these. They seem to want to stay on those warm, damp and dirty areas. Be careful out there guys and stay safe, these insects are no joke.

In fact, there are several scientific works demonstrating autochthonous cases of Chagas disease in US. So different from what many people think, Chagas disease is not a typical disease only of underdeveloped or developing countries. In fact, there are several scientific works demonstrating autochthonous cases of Chagas disease, which are increasingly common. Btw, more and more triatomines have also been observed in the northern states of the USA.

I believe the kissing bug has layed eggs into a sore I had on my neck about 4 months ago on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick Canada. the Cottage was surrounded by rat's, I would see them on Decks there in the garage
But Saint John Regional Hospital in New Brunswick Canada never heard of such a bug and sent me home again with NO HELP, and I'm devastated
Nobody Believes me
. pray for me, please.

Sometimes a person is sad that he does not live in places like America, but is still happy that he lives in a country where nothing poisonous lives and he does not have to be afraid to sleep.

Because of these things my brother keeps calling me every time he finds a Wheel Bug on his property. Like no the vast majority of assassin bugs are hunters, not parasites like these guys.

These parasitic kissing bugs are the most disgusting things in the world, second only to mosquitoes. Its abhorrent how nature could create something so nasty and harmful.

Chipo in Venezuela. Hard to see in Caracas or other big cities but can still be found in rural areas. Gladly never had contact with any of these.

I'm from Brazil and have always known about the existence of barbeiro, but never knew what it did and how dangerous it was.

Watching this at night and feeling something contacting like something is climbing on you. Gross, for real.
