300,000 people infected with kissing disease in US
This is shocking, and should be a wake-up call to the price Americans are going to be paying for the illegal immigrants crossing our borders from Latin America.

Re: 300,000 people infected with kissing disease i
And I might add, this disease (along with the enterovirus disease that has killed several young children recently) is getting far less attention, than Ebola, which has not even killed one American yet.

Yes, Thomas Duncan died, but he was from Africa. He wasn't an American. I am not aware of an American dying from Ebola, yet.

Re: 300,000 people infected with kissing disease i
Chagas is very easilly treatable unless left untreated for a long period of time. Even then, chronic Chagas is not a death sentence.
The FLU kills more Americans EVERY YEAR than any of these diseases and infections that some Republicans have tried to politicize lately.
The FLU!
The FLU!
The FLU!
The FLU is DEADLY and is airborne. Maybe we should put a travel ban on ourselves once FLU SEASON arrives.

Re: 300,000 people infected with kissing disease i
The flu indeed can be deadly. Yet... this "kissing" disease actually manifests itself with symptoms very similar to the flu. So... unless thorough testing is done, there may be more people with heart disease, etc., who had the "flu" several years ago, didn't realize it may have been the kissing disease, and now they have the full blown Chagas disease.

Before you blithely discount the dangers of this disease, you should understand that 1) it's only treatable in its early stages, and since it's not something our Dr's have had experience with and the symptoms are close to that of the flu, it's generally not found in the early stages; 2) when you take the conditions Chagas causes - especially the cardiac problems - then add to that condition what many Americans have, diabetes, it does become a death sentence. Only there's no date affixed to the execution. Instead, it becomes a ticking time-bomb which could go off at any time.

Treatment of the disease is done through antiparasitic drugs to kill the parasite, but that can only be done if the Chagas is caught in its early stages. If it goes untreated past its acute stage, the Chagas can only be managed by patients with chronic cardiac or intestinal problems by devices like pacemakers and medications for irregular heartbeats.

Re: 300,000 people infected with kissing disease i
I think I have kissing disease.....
Or, I would like to have kissing disease....
Or... could I just skip the disease and just keep the kissing?

I parked to go into the grocery store and a vehicle with two illegals loading groceries were next to me. Another sat in the passengers seat. When I got out, he gives that very predictable (I am sexy and you want me, don't you?) smirk, looking me up and down. Oh my gosh, please do not tick me off. I looked at him, glared, and said, "What are you looking at?" He quickly turned facing the front and didn't look at me again. 
I deleted everything else I wrote... I hate open borders.
