Girl bit by blood-sucking kissing bug in Delaware, CDC confirms
WRAL ^ | 24 April 2019

According to the CDC, kissing bugs are blood-sucking insects that feed on animals and humans. Their nickname comes from their tendency to bite faces.

The CDC estimates that there are 300,000 cases of Chagas in the U.S., with most of those contracted in other countries. But the family of the girl who was bit had not traveled outside the country recently, the statement said.

If I keep a couple of KILLER CASSOWARYS in my yard will they eat them?

Blood-sucking insects? DuPage County used to be free of such things, but they are moving out of the city in droves!

And the old moose problem.

Chagas disease is a disease endemic to Central America. It was unheard of in the USA 20 years ago. It is a parasitic disease where your heart fills up with worms. It is spread my the "kissing bug". There is no cure except a heart transplant.

Half the scum in the "caravans" are probably infected with it. There is no cure except a heart transplant. Another "gift of love" from the Central American filth.

Thanks, Jorge!

eternal “thanks” are in order
to obola, the treasonous Congress,
and Soros-NWO.

these diseases were shipped secretly to every city,
and those bastards did to do exactly this.

Aren’t these also known as Assassin Bugs?

Pretty sure they are separate bugs.

Assassin bug bite is incredibly painful. Kissing bug has different bite.

We have these dern thangs here in West Virginia. I’ve been bitten three times. Locally, they continued to say they weren’t here yet! I contacted Texas A&M and sent them a sample of the bug, and they verified it. Soon after, the WV and CDC were calling me! I had a severe reaction to these bites.

That is the Blood Sucking Conenose(kissing bug), I have killed many in DuPage County at work. Look at it under a microscope if you want to see something scary.

Just did a drive-by through the den and ABC evening news was on (don’t normally watch their propaganda). They were giving a report about the “kissing bug” and stated that this insect comes from Central and South America. Oh my, wonder how on earth it’s winged or crawled to Amurica? The human vermin crawling across the border (and already here in force) will succeed in eradicating all of us.

We have chagas in TX. Sometimes just diagnosed as heart failure as Chagas was considered a tropical disease.

You’re right.

The assassin bug leaves a painful open wound and the kissing bug leaves a hickey.
