Blood-sucking assassin bugs spreading Chagas disease in U.S. from Latin America....
Here is some of what the NWO is causing...How much longer do we have to take this BS from these AHO Gangster Banksters??
Because they tend to feed on people's faces, triatomine bugs are also known as ‘kissing bugs’.

Blood-sucking insects, carried into the United States from Latin American immigrant regions to the border states, may be contributing to a rise in Chagas disease and more than 300,000 people with related infections living in America. Many of these insects, referred to as “assassin bugs,” are widespread carriers of a deadly parasite that causes Chagas disease according to a study just released from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) Wednesday. Researchers conclude that the threats to humans contracting the disease may be higher than formerly believed.
These assassin bugs drop feces on humans while filing up with blood, whereas mosquitoes transmit diseases like malaria from their bite. The feces, containing the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), often penetrates the bloodstream through the bite wound they make. The T. cruzi parasite can then affect the heart and gastrointestinal systems.
“It is estimated that as many as 8 million people in Mexico, Central America, and South America have Chagas disease, most of whom do not know they are infected,” states the The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “The bugs are found in houses made from materials such as mud, adobe, straw, and palm thatch. During the day, the bugs hide in crevices in the walls and roofs. During the night, when the inhabitants are sleeping, the bugs emerge. Because they tend to feed on people's faces, triatomine bugs are also known as ‘kissing bugs’."
UTEP biologists caught 39 assassin bugs with traps at the University’s Indio Mountains Research Station located about 100 north of the U.S.-Texas border in Hudspeth County. Out of the 39 bugs trapped, researchers discovered through lab testing that 61 percent, or 24 bugs, were infected with T. cruzi parasite.
Rosa A. Maldanado, D. Sc., an associate professor of biological sciences with UTEP indicates these bugs could be a cause for some of the high rate of heart disease along the border region. According to the study, almost one-third of people infected with T. cruzi develop life-threating conditions. Some of the symptoms are irregular heart rhythms, eating difficulties or dilation of the esophagus or colon that can restrict passing stool.
The CDC used known “seroprevalence figures to immigrant populations” to determine that over 300,000 persons with Trypanosome cruzi infection live in the United States.
“As blood-donation screening for Chagas disease becomes more widespread, public health officials and health-care providers should anticipate increased numbers of questions regarding the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of Chagas disease,” the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health states.
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) commented that “because of newly instituted blood bank screening, increased community awareness, and demographic changes, United States–based clinicians are likely to encounter more patients with Chagas disease in the future.”
“Chagas disease presents an increasing challenge for clinicians in the United States,” JAMA states. “Despite gaps in the evidence base, current knowledge is sufficient to make practical recommendations to guide appropriate evaluation, management, and etiologic treatment of Chagas disease.”Chagas disease is named after a Brazilian physician, Carlos Chagas, who discovered the disease in 1909.
Maldanado’s research team is also analyzing the prevalence of the parasites in street dogs and cats in El Paso. Their recent results were published in the journal Acta Tropica.
"It surprised me that so many of them were carrying the parasite," Maldonado said. "I was expecting to have some, but this is quite high."
"Doctors usually don't consider Chagas disease when they diagnose patients, so they need to be aware of its prevalence here," remarked Maldonado.
According to CDC, not only is the disease transmitted by these assassin or kissing bugs, infected humans can spread to others through blood transfusions, organ transplants, and from a mother to a fetus. It can easily be transferred through foods and juices contaminated by the tainted bug feces.
