Assassin Bugs in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, there are various types of assassin bugs. These bugs play a beneficial role for gardeners by preying on insects that harm plants. However, they can also seriously threaten human health, as some species can transmit Chagas disease, which is responsible for approximately 10,000 deaths annually.
These insects, sometimes referred to as “kissing bugs,” tend to bite individuals on their lips and eyes while they sleep. The severity of Chagas disease can range from mild symptoms to fatal consequences, including congestive heart failure if left untreated.
