People who live in areas where the beetle that carries Chagas exist should definitely be aware of the disease and be able to recognize that insect, which is quite distinctive, and also what the bite looks like (although the bite isn't what causes chagas, just alerts you to having had one of those beetles on you). I have occasionally seen them around my place and kill them when I do.
But I have found that most people have never heard of it.

Mood: If I was feeling any better, I'd be twins!

I got bit by the most vile form of P-nche Chingaso beetle several times and I am infected for life! :lol:
