Kissing Bugs

They strike at night. Their kiss is silent, their danger invisible. And for millions of people, that kiss is deadly.
Chagas disease-spread by the so-called "kissing bug"-is one of the world's most overlooked epidemics. Often mistaken for the flu, ignored for years, or dismissed by doctors, this parasite can lie hidden inside the body before exploding into heart failure, digestive collapse, or even sudden death. Yet outside of a few medical circles, almost no one is talking about it.

In Kissing Bugs: The Silent Assassins Among Us, you'll uncover the shocking truth behind a disease that knows no borders. Through gripping real-life stories, eye-opening science, and deeply human accounts, this book pulls back the curtain on how Chagas spreads, why it's been neglected, and what can be done to stop it.
