Chagas disease, or deadly "kissing bug" disease, has spread in the U.S. Here's what to know.

Chagas disease, a potentially deadly condition caused by an infected triatomine insect or "kissing bug," may be becoming endemic in the United States, according to a new report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. U.S. "Autochthonous (or, locally acquired) human cases have been reported in 8 states, most notably in Texas. Labeling the United States as non-Chagas disease-endemic perpetuates low awareness and underreporting," the report noted, adding the insect has been reported in 32 states. Other states with human cases include California, Arizona, Tennessee, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi and Arkansas.
