If you ever get stung, DON’T IGNORE the bite—it can be quite serious. Here’s what they are and what you should do
Most of us feel uneasy at the sight of bugs, but there’s one particular insect that deserves serious concern — the kissing bug. It may look like just another large insect, but don’t be fooled. These bugs can pose a real threat to your health, especially if you live in areas where they are becoming more common.
The kissing bug, scientifically known as Triatoma, is a type of blood-sucking insect that feeds on humans and animals. What makes it especially dangerous is not just the bite — but what it can leave behind.
Why is it called a “kissing bug”?
The name “kissing bug” comes from its habit of biting people near the lips, eyes, or face while they sleep. It is nocturnal, meaning it comes out at night, and is attracted to warmth and carbon dioxide — which humans naturally produce as they sleep.
These bugs hide in cracks in walls, under mattresses, behind furniture, or near pet bedding. Once you’re asleep, they crawl out and feed on your blood.
