Deadly 'kissing bug' found in Texas
SAN ANTONIO -- A bug with a deadly bite is in Texas. Doctors say the kissing bug is a silent killer.
"While it's sucking your blood it defecates. In that feces is the parasite," said Dr. Anil Mangla, the Assistant Director for the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District.
That parasite leads to Chagas disease. It finds a home in your tissue and muscles, including your heart.
