Oh man here comes another reason not to get up in the morning...
Chagas disease is a caused by a bite from the nasty looking Triatominae also known as the kissing bug.
At first victims get a mild fever, swollen lymph nodes, headache, and a little swelling near the bite. About 6 in 10 get well. But 4 in 10 develop serious symptoms 10 to 30 years later including enlargement of the ventricles of the heart leading to heart failure.
Over 300,000 in the USA are already infected! How? The CDC says most got it in Mexico or South America before crossing the border.
Isn't illegal immigration fun, folks?
