30,000 cases to 300,000 in 3 years... incurable... spread by insect bites...
At the rate it's spreading there could be 3,000,000 cases in the USA. |

There was a news segment out of one of the Charlotte stations yesterday about the 'Kissing Bugs' and
a resident that believes he found one, sent off to the CDC. Thing is, I was on treadmill, closed captioned news segment, so I couldn't get all the details. Was a NASTY LOOKING FUCKING BUG THOUGH!!! |

This sounds wonderful The good news? To actually pass on the disease, the bug not only needs to bite you, but then defecate into the gash. If left untreated, up to 30% of bite victims will develop chronic conditions such as difficulty breathing, heart and intestinal complications, and, in extreme cases, death. I know poop thread |

San Diego news is reporting on it: http://www.10news.com/news/kissing-bug-can-lead-to-dangerous-parasite-infection-while-you-sleep-112515
Chagas disease, which can cause long-term cardiac damage, is mainly found in rural Central and South America, but some experts are concerned that cases are beginning to rise in southern U.S. states. Infections have been reported in Arkansas, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Texas, according to the CDC. The disease is caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite and is spread almost exclusively through bites from the triatomine insect, also called the "kissing bug," since it usually bites around the eyes and mouth, usually when they come out to feed at night. In rural Central and South America, the bugs are often found in the walls of homes made from mud, adobe or straw. The insect has also been found in other U.S. states but that does not necessarily mean the bugs carry the parasite, experts said. Once in the body, the parasite can remain hidden for years, or even decades, eventually resulting in serious heart disease, including stretching of the heart muscle called cardiomyopathy or irregular heartbeat. Other early acute symptoms include fever, fatigue, body aches, headache and rash. While the disease can lead to serious complications, the vast majority of those infected will likely not show any symptoms, according to the CDC, which estimated that 300,000 people with Chagas disease live in the United States. A spokeswoman for the CDC said the agency does not have data on how many people are infected within the U.S. versus those infected before they arrive. More at link  |

Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is a potentially life-threatening illness caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi). It is found mainly in endemic areas of 21 Latin American countries , where it is mostly vector-borne transmitted to humans by contact with faeces of triatomine bugs, known as 'kissing bugs', among other names, depending on the geographical area.

If Chagas is caught during the early infection, the parasite can be killed. Therefore it is curable. Just know what to look for in the symptoms. Only when it gets to chronic stage is it incurable.
Or similar to Mono. So if you suspect Mono, get tested for Chagas. |

Chagas is a Latin American disease spread by immigrants. It has a long incubation period and its tough to detect.
Some signs you may have been infected: during your lunch break at work you sit in your car with your buddies and drink 24oz Bud tall boys. You sell your car and buy a Ford F-150. You put a big sticker in the back window of your F-150 that says "DURANGO" or "CHIHUAHUA" in Old English script. Then you add a Virgin of Guadalupe sticker. Your wife starts selling homemade tamales outside of the Southwest Supermercado. Your favorite TV channel is Univision. You buy Wrangler jeans... they're red. You tuck them into your boots. You wear them with pearl snap-button shirts. If you have two or more of those indicators.... consult a physician. (You'll probably just hit the ER). |

In the spring I was told by the Red Cross I tested positive for Chagas. They said to not donate blood anymore. I received a ton of paperwork in the mail telling all about the disease. They said I likely tested false-positive and the FDA doesn't allow donations after that.
Red Cross said call back in one year to see if I could give blood. |
