However, this disease has been seen in the US in recent years. Chagas disease is usually spread by the kissing bug, a cousin to bed bugs. The kissing bug deposits contaminated feces after feeding on people, which can lead to an infection. Tiny parasites are responsible for causing these infections, and researchers have discovered that bed bugs might be able to transmit these parasites too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deadly Parasites<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The parasites that cause Chagas disease have been found in some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/14\/its-best-to-discover-bed-bug-problems-at-low-activity-levels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bed bugs<\/a> that feed on infected hosts. Researchers tested this with mice and found that bed bugs were able to transmit these parasites, although they\u2019re not sure how much of a threat this is in the US at this time.
