A San Antonio man’s dog is lucky to be alive after getting bitten by an insect known as the kissing bug.
– A San Antonio man’s dog is still suffering from the side effects of Chagas disease four years after getting bitten by an insect known as the kissing bug.
He said Hunter came very close to dying, suffered multiple heart attacks and also had several seizures. “It was said that he may need to be put down but I just couldn’t do it. I told them to do everything they can for him,” Friesenhan said. “Our laboratory at Texas A&M University has found that about 50% of kissing bugs are infected with the Chagas parasite,” AgriLife Extension officials said.
