But new research shows that bedbugs can also spread the disease, at least among mice.
Chagas disease is caused by a parasitic protozoan called Trypanosoma cruzi that slowly attacks internal organs like the heart. At first, it has very few outward signs. Then, about 20 years after infection, some 20 percent of infected people develop very serious problems, including arrhythmias and even sudden death from cardiac arrest, Levy tells Newsweek.
Due to this time lag and lack of recognition, Chagas disease has become a “silent epidemicâ€â€”it’s the most deadly parasite in the Americas, but the public doesn’t know anything about it, Levy says.
My comment....Obama will be living in HI-waa-yaa where the illegal immigrants and funky diseases aren't.
