There are many insects around us, and some of them are very dangerous.
Triatominae, also known as the kissing bug, is dangerous.
Many insects are abhorred by humans (1/12)
Spiders, beetles, ants and other arachnids or insects arouse disgust in many people. Larger animals such as snakes and mice can be added to the list.
Hell (2/12)
All it takes is to imagine them close to them, up their sleeve or, worse, in their bed, and they already go insane or become sick. A real phobia, not always justified, that can ruin your life.
Kissing Bug (3/12)
Be aware, however, that among these small creatures there are some that are truly dangerous and can cause death by biting or stinging. This is especially true of Triatominae, also known as kissing bugs.
Deadly disease (4/12)
This is a type of blood-feeding bacteria that can transmit Chagas disease, a deadly illness if not treated quickly.
Insect found in warm regions (5/12)
This insect is found mainly in Latin America and the southern United States, usually in warm and tropical areas. Despite the high temperatures, it is recommended to wear long sleeves.
Some tips to avoid the effects (6/12)
A mosquito net, closing windows and using air conditioning are recommended for the night. Electricity bills will increase, but you can also save money.
Lifelong treatment (7/12)
Chagas disease, if not fatal, requires lifelong treatment, whether it affects men, women, children or animals (mostly cats and dogs).
Heart fatigue (8/12)
This disease is characterized by progressive dyspnea and, in many cases, enlargement of the heart. People with this disease must be monitored regularly by a doctor.
Affected animals (9/12)
With animals, the situation is sometimes more complicated, as veterinarians do not always have the resources and knowledge of the care to be provided. Owners often decide to put the animal to sleep if they find it suffering.
Small creatures make people talk (10/12)
With reports in France of bedbugs worrying the population, these small creatures are taking up more and more space in the media and social networks.
Don’t be smart (11/12)
In any case, if you get bitten or stung by an insect or other creature you don’t know, don’t waste time and play superhero.
Go to the emergency room (12/12)
You must go immediately to the emergency room in your area, trying (easier said than done) to describe to the doctor as best you can the animal that stung or bit you.
Many people suffer from a phobia of insects. Some of them are harmless, while others are very dangerous. This is especially true of the Triatominae, also known as the kissing bug.
