Spiders, beetles, ants, and other arachnids or insects disgust many people. We could add larger animals to the list, such as snakes or mice. Just imagining them close to them, in their sleeves or worse, in their beds, drives them crazy or sick. A real phobia, not always justified, that can ruin lives. That said, among these little creatures, there are some that are truly dangerous and can cause death through their bites or stings. This is particularly the case with the Triatominae, also known as the Kissing Bug.

This is a type of blood-feeding bug that can transmit Chagas disease, a fatal condition if not treated promptly. This insect is found primarily in Latin America and the southern United States, usually in hot, tropical areas. Despite the high temperatures, it's advisable to wear long sleeves. At night, mosquito netting is recommended, as is closing windows and using air conditioning. Your electricity bills will increase, but you might also be saved.
