Oh, you're welcome!

It also stated dogs can drop dead from it, as well as humans, long after being infected. The CDC has not required doctors to report the illness to the health depts. Don't worry Linda, only half the kissing bugs they've tested in Central Texas have the disease!!!

Just 10 million people worldwide are infected with Chagas, and only 12, 500 die each year. Whew, I'm feeling better, aren't you? I always thought assassin bugs were our friends, eating the bad guys. Okay, one more....the disease can be transmitted thru blood transfusions, from mother to child, and by transplants.
