WHO recognizes Chagas as an emerging infectious disease. CDC proposes to declare Chagas endemic to southern USA; likely under-reporting. I have been involved in diagnosis and care of some immigrant patients severely affected with chronic infection. https://t.co/ag7SUJzg2Y

so avoid kissing bugs primarily and watch your dogs carefully if you live in the southern half of the US. but mostly good luck bc you can also get it if you’re not exposed to kissing bugs and then randomly die decades into the future on some bullshit smh https://t.co/dmhbUMKleC
