Kissing Bug-Chigas Disease shows up in South Texas

Do not take this lightly. I am being tested right now for this. I have been extremely ill for over a month. My doctor contact an infectious specialist in my town and he said that there were lots and lots of cases in our area, just not being reported and we are close to the Canadian border. These diseases are serious business in this country. We normally have left the area for winter, but have not been able to leave yet do to my illness. Hopefully it isn't this bug as there really isn't a cure, but please don't joke about this. I know the name can be ripe for jokes, but I have never been so sick for so long in my life.
