Kissing Bugs Tutorial and Video

Hey Blogger community! Did you know that a "kiss" from a kissing bug could be fatal? Well, although its technically not a kiss when an insect bites your face while you sleep, its definitely something you want to avoid at all costs. Why?

Well kissing bugs can carry a disease called "Chagas" and this silent killer can stay in your system for years before you reach your demise.

Here's a small extract from the article: "Unfortunately, kissing bugs and the Chagas disease infections often go hand in hand. However, remember that it’s not the saliva (or the blood) that contains the disease (unlike Malaria). The disease is actually in their feces (poo) and you will only catch it if the excrement (that has the disease) is placed near an open wound, is dropped in your eye or if you swallow it. Considering that these insects usually bite your face during the night (since the rest of your body is covered), this is a real possibility."
