Watch out for these "Kissing Bugs". It sounds like they could be very dangerous.

The fact that they are spreading north (and bringing Chagas with them) is yet another consequence of our changing climate. They're finding the environment further north more hospitable than it has been before. It's very concerning to me, and they are not the only insect vector spreading out from the tropics and bringing diseases with them.
