Killer Bug Spreading Across America, Doctors Calling It The New Aids [SEE SYMPTOMS] According to recent reports, a deadly bug originating in Latin America has made its way to the U.S., and it has already infected 17 people in Houston, Texas. The reduviid bug, known as the kissing bug typically just attacks the face, but can also spread a deadly disease. If one is infected, they will experience fever, fatigue, body aches, rash, diarrhea and vomiting. Once these symptoms fade, those infected will experience very few signs of the disease. The trouble doesnt end there, however. The bug carries a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi, which can cause Chagas disease in humans, eventually leading to heart and intestinal problems. People dont normally feel sick, so they dont seek medical care, but it ultimately ends up causing heart disease in about 30 percent of those who are infected, Nolan Garcia, an epidemiologist reports. We think of Chagas disease as a silent killer. The parasite has reportedly infected 7 to 8 million people worldwide, although experts suspect there are many cases that still remain undiagnosed. Make sure to spread this information to your friends and family, so they can be on the lookup for the deadly bug.
