Symptoms

Chagas disease, when not fatal, requires lifelong treatment, whether for men, women, children, or animals (most often, cats and dogs). It is characterized by progressive shortness of breath and, in many cases, an enlarged heart. People with this disease must then be monitored regularly by a doctor. For animals, it is sometimes more complex because veterinarians do not always have the means or knowledge of the care required. Owners often decide, if the suffering is recognized, to have the animal put down.

With the current news in France concerning bedbugs worrying the population, the little creatures are taking up a lot of space in the media and on social networks. Whatever the case, in the event of a bite or sting from an insect or other creature that you don't know, you shouldn't waste any time or play the superhero. You should quickly go to the emergency services of your location, trying (easier said than done) to best describe to the doctor the creature that bit you.
