Over 300,000 Americans have already been infected with the potentially fatal 'kissing bug disease' called Chagas but U.S. healthcare workers lack of knowledge about the illness is letting many cases of the parasite unnoticed. Some doctors are calling it the 'new AIDS' because of the way it develops.

Worthy of repeating , since it speaks volumes about our press !

Maybe freezing in winter isn’t so bad.

Dysphemism: Changas is like AIDS
Euphemism: AIDS is similar to Changas

AIDS is primarily spread through Sodomite activity and not an innocent bite by a bug!?!

Gee, it skipped New York. Our blood probably poisons the thing.

'kissing bug disease'

I don’t think the article says whether the bug itself is being found in the US?

That fact does reveal how Pravda (not true/official truth only) the Main Stream Media is.

I’ll be damned!

I didn’t know you Brits had any knowledge of Bart Simpson.

I suppose the rot has spread everywhere.

“I didn’t know you Brits had any knowledge of Bart Simpson.”

I think you have me confused with MadIvan. I'm about as Midwest redneck as you can get.

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Yeah, I get confused after drinking wine all Sunday and engage in drunk-posting.

“It is spread by cooties which only girls have.”

Better than being made of, ‘Snips and snails, and puppy dog tails...!’ :)

Ebola is not under control yet. And the more it spreads the number of people coming to America with it will increase.

The drop in deaths represents either a sudden surge in resurrections or problems in reporting.

[DannyTN]

"It’s an annoying little illness that effects very few people"

Well, according to this report, it's potentially terminal which is more than "annoying". And it's affecting 300,000 people which is almost 1% of the population. Not sure if I believe their number. But it is concerning that it's going undetected.

[discostu]

Lots of stuff is potentially terminal, including the common cold. And 300,000 people is 1/10 of 1% of the population, not almost. It’s going undetected because it remain asymptomatic for a prolonged time, not much reason to test people that aren’t sick.

[x1stcav]

I wholeheartedly agree with you.
