FAQ

What are kissing bugs?
Kissing bugs are insects that may be infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease. They are commonly known as cone-nose bugs or chinches. Kissing bugs feed on blood during the night, and they are called kissing bugs because they prefer to bite humans around the mouth or eyes.

Where are kissing bugs found?
Kissing bugs are found throughout the Americas. In the US, kissing bugs are established in 28 states. A total of 11 different species of kissing bugs have been documented in the US, with the highest diversity and density in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Kissing bugs are not new to the United States. There is documentation of kissing bugs in many states in records in the mid 1800s.

What is Chagas disease?
The parasite Trypanosoma cruzi causes Chagas disease in humans, dogs, and other mammals. In humans, Chagas disease manifests in two phases: acute phase and chronic phase. After becoming infected with the parasite, the acute phase can last for a few weeks or months. This phase can be symptom-free or difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are common for many types of sicknesses, including fever, fatigue, body aches, headache, rash, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting. Of those who are infected with the parasite, approximately 30% are at risk of developing chronic Chagas disease. Chronic Chagas disease includes cardiac complications and/or intestinal complications, and these signs may not be apparent until decades after the initial infection. Cardiac signs include enlarged heart, heart failure, altered heart rate, and/or cardiac arrest. Intestinal signs include an enlarged esophagus or colon, which can cause difficulties with digestion. Concerned individuals should discuss testing options with their physicians. Treatment of Chagas disease can be difficult, and drugs are available only through the CDC after consultation with a physician.

Where is Chagas disease found?
Chagas disease is endemic throughout central and South America, and is increasingly recognized as both a human and veterinary health concern in the southern United States. Chagas disease became a reportable disease in Texas in 2013. The public health burden of Chagas disease in the US is largely unknown, because most states are not required to keep track of the number of confirmed human cases. Estimates of human cases of Chagas disease in the US range from 300,000 to over 1 million, with particular concern for those living in the US/Mexico border regions. In addition to documented cases in immigrants who were infected in central and South America, there are increasing reports of human cases of Chagas disease acquired in the United States. The parasite that causes Chagas disease has been known in the U.S. since at least 1916.

Education / Re: Dr Asking Why MED. LAB. Scientists Use Stethoscope For Induction Pics by DeKen: 1:29am On Jan 31, 2018
These doctors and scorning/mockery of other medical practitioners.

The society regards doctors more than their affiliates. It's a 3rd world country syndrome where some professions are considered superior to others and some professions are looked down on. Why won't everyone want to be one revered and respected by all.

And the doctors feel they are more important than the others in the medical profession. No matter the academic attainment, the doctors feel threatened about the demand of other medical practitioners to be addressed as consultants. No matter the services rendered the doctors feel that other medical practitioners should not earn like them. It may be the reason you see lots of bitter nurses in the public hospitals as the major competition is between nurses and doctors.

Don't blame them. Blame the system.

You mean 1 billion has been spent on an individual for a short period of time while lots of Nigerians are suffering angry.
And roads would not have been constructed if this man didn't die?
What kind of talk is this? Should prominent people die before attention is drawn towards infrastructure in the area?

No. These are the foot soldiers mostly poor fulanis invited from neighbouring countries to work as militias and herders for the Nigerian Fulanis. Their Ogas who own the cattle are the 1st class citizens.

No. The way Nigerians are they won't need to arrest even a thousand. By the time they arrest 50 and fellow Nigerians abandon them after those protesting for their release are also arrested, the rest will coil into their shells and the govt. will have their way. What did we do about the bill that was recently passed to stifle freedom of information?
