You should be extremely careful. Even though the bug looks harmless, it can carry a Trypanosoma cruzi parasite that causes Chagas disease. These bugs are typically found in the southern United States, Mexico, Central America and South America. Almost 8 million people are infected by this parasite, worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is not easy for this bug to give a human Chagas disease. The disease is transmitted through the bug\u2019s feces. A person can only get Chagas disease from this deadly bug if the feces get rubbed into a bite wound or enter through an exposed body part such as the mouth or eyes. The species typically found in southern regions in the United States looks similar to the species that are common to Chagas disease.<\/p>\n<p>The tiny insect feeds on human blood much like a mosquito, but it is specific to biting the face of its victims. The bite from this deadly bug begins to itch and as the host scratches the bite introducing the pathogen. People who are bitten don\u2019t normally feel sick, so they don\u2019t seek medical care. But, it ends up causing heart disease in about 30% of those who are infected.<\/p>\n<p>Known as the triatomine bug \u2014 or less informally the \u201ckissing bug\u201d \u2014 according to 11-ALIVE News, the insect has been reported all across the southern regions of the United States. Below, you can see all the states that have reported the bug\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n<p>All the states where the \u201ckissing bug\u201d has been reported.<\/p>\n<p>Our native species are capable of carrying the Chagas Disease pathogen, but they don\u2019t defecate as part of their feeding behavior therefore, the pathogen is not transmitted to humans. If you think you may have found one of the bugs you can bring the sample to your closest CDC office.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the CDC states the following about \u201ckissing bugs,\u201d says NBC-12 News:<\/p>\n<p>The CDC says these bugs can live in cracks and holes indoors and in outdoor spaces including:<\/p>\n<p>Beneath porches<br \/>\nBetween rocky structures<br \/>\nUnder cement<br \/>\nIn rock, wood, brush piles, or beneath bark<br \/>\nIn rodent nests or animal burrows<br \/>\nIn outdoor dog houses or kennels<br \/>\nIn chicken coops or houses<\/p>\n<p>To keep these bugs away from you home, the CDC suggests:<\/p>\n<p>Sealing cracks and gaps around windows, walls, roofs, and doors<br \/>\nRemoving wood, brush, and rock piles near your house<br \/>\nUsing screens on doors and windows and repairing any holes or tears<br \/>\nIf possible, making sure yard lights are not close to your house<br \/>\nHaving pets sleep indoors, especially at night<br \/>\nKeeping your house and any outdoor pet resting areas clean<\/p>\n<p>If you think you\u2019ve found this dangerous bug, the CDC suggests that you should not touch or squash the bug. Place a container on top of the bug, slide the bug inside, and fill it with rubbing alcohol or, if not available, freeze the bug in the container. Then, you may take it to your local extension service, health department, or a university laboratory for species identification.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a deadly bug has been reported in southern regions of the United States.
