When folks have prolonged abdominal complaints over more than a few days, docs usually request a stool sample to check for ova and parasites.

However, that's not the case with this protozoa. They draw blood samples and might be able to visualize the organism in a microscope. If unsuccessful, there are available more sophisticated biochemical tests looking for specific anti-bodies to T. cruzi.

Contrary to this story, there are medicines to treat this condition except they may not always work and can have bad side effects.

However, most folks with this disease, if left untreated, will die from congestive heart failure or a fatal arrhythmia.

Without crapping in your pants, go see your doc, please.

I'm sorry if I scared anyone.

LOL! Ladies don't do those kind of things. :)
