Illegal Aliens are Infecting Americans with a parasitic illness that can cause strokes and heart failure and it is spreading across the US
- Chagas disease is caused by a parasite transmitted by a bug via its feces
- Most people don't show signs of infection but 30 percent can develop life-threatening complication including an enlarged heart
- The disease has mostly been limited to Central and South America, but it has entered the States, sickening an estimated 300,000 Americans in 27 States.
- A statement from the American Heart Association has warned that US doctors need to learn to recognize Chagas before an outbreak occurs
A parasitic illness that can cause strokes and heart failure is spreading across the US, doctors have warned.
Chagas disease is transmitted by an insect known as the 'kissing bug' because it tends to bite people's faces, near their mouths.
Many never shown signs that they've been infected with the disease, which is why it has earned the nickname of the 'silent killer'.
The disease has mostly been limited to Central and South America, but it has entered the States, sickening an estimated 300,000 Americans.
Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which lives in the gut of bug that transmits the disease, the triatomine insect, which is also known as the 'kissing bug'.
However, the disease is not spread through the bug's bite, rather through its feces.
After the bugs feed on you, they tend to defecate. If the feces accidentally are rubbed into the wound or the eye, it can result in infection.
Chagas disease has two phases known as the acute phase and the chronic phase.
According to the CDC, the acute phase lasts for the first few weeks or months after the infection.
Despite a high number of parasites circulating in the blood, most symptoms are either mild or absent.
Such symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, rash, or swelling near the bite wound or where the feces were deposited or rubbed into the eye.
During this stage, there are...
Sweden ABLAZE: Buildings, Cars & Restaurant TORCHED Overnight as Arson Attacks Continue
As for the rape epidemic in Sweden: Sweden rape: Most convicted attackers foreign-born.
BUILDINGS, 7 CARS & PIZZERIA TORCHED IN SWEDEN OVERNIGHT AS ARSON ATTACKS CONTINUE
SEVERAL BUILDINGS, INCLUDING A PIZZERIA AND A GARAGE, AS WELL AS SEVEN CARS, WERE SET ON FIRE OVERNIGHT IN SOUTHERN SWEDEN AS POLICE REMAIN CLUELESS ON HOW TO CURB THE ONGOING WAVE OF ARSON ATTACKS.
The fire services received calls saying that a house was burning in a residential area of Kristianstad municipality shortly before midnight on Wednesday. The police said that a fire at the local pizzeria had started upstairs and quickly spread through the building.
A garage and several other buildings were also set on fire during the night, creating a risk of the flames spreading to nearby homes, but the firefighters managed to localize the blazes.
Later in the night, law enforcers and rescuers also had to respond to several reports of car fires occurring at various locations in central Kristianstad. Seven cars in different areas were set on fire, with two of them burning out completely, the police said. There were no fatalities or injuries as a result of the incidents in Kristianstad, it added.
When asked by SVT paper if the fires were arson attacks, chief police officer Tommy Bengtsson, replied that “of course, it can’t be ruled out,” but refused to speculate about whether Wednesday’s fires were connected.
Youth gangs have been blamed for staging multiple car arsons across Sweden in recent years. There were 1,835 such incidents between January and July this year, according to data by the National Council on Crime Prevention.
The police warned that the arson trend may spike in the wake of the start of school in late August. On Monday, more than 100 cars were torched in the Swedish cities of Gothenburg, Stockholm and elsewhere in what was believed to be coordinated attack.
Vandalism, rape, murder and other crimes have spiked in the country in recent years, and this has been linked by some to the European migrant crisis in 2015. Last year, the country saw more than 300 confirmed shooting incidents, which left 41 people dead and 135 injured. The Swedish police are blamed for lacking resources and training to reverse the situation.
The crime rise and the inability of the state to integrate the arriving migrants have created favorable conditions for the rise of the right-wing Sweden Democrats. The anti-migrant party is currently polling at 19 percent, according to Ipsos, and is looking to record its best-ever result in...
Autopsy finds Iowa student, Mollie Tibbetts, died from 'sharp force injuries'
Preliminary autopsy results from the state medical examiner's office determined that 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts was the victim of a homicide who died from "multiple sharp force injuries," the Division of Criminal Investigation announced in a news release.
State medical examiner Dennis Klein said in an interview that the finding means a sharp-edged or pointed object such as a knife was used to attack Tibbetts. He declined comment on the details of her injuries, and said that his office would hire consultants, including forensic anthropologists, to analyze her remains further and make additional findings.
The man charged with first-degree murder in Tibbetts' death, Cristhian Bahena Rivera, allegedly led investigators to her body early Tuesday in a cornfield outside of Brooklyn, Iowa, the town where the University of Iowa psychology major was last seen one month prior. While investigators were confident then that the body was that of Tibbetts, the autopsy definitively confirmed her identity.
Prosecutors allege that Rivera abducted Tibbetts while she was out for an evening run in Brooklyn on July 18, killed her and disposed of her body in the secluded location.
A criminal complaint alleges that Rivera confessed during a lengthy interrogation that began Monday to following Tibbetts in his car, getting out on foot and chasing after her. Rivera told investigators that he panicked after Tibbetts threatened to call police on her cellphone, he blacked out and later came to when he was unloading her bloody body from the trunk of a car, it says.
Rivera worked for the last four years at a dairy farm a few miles from where Tibbetts was last seen. He and Tibbetts have no known connections other than that Rivera allegedly told investigators that he saw her running previously. Investigators zeroed in on him as the suspect after obtaining footage from surveillance cameras showing a vehicle connected to him circling the area of Tibbetts' running route.
Earlier this week, investigators said they were uncertain how Tibbetts was killed or whether she was sexually assaulted. They've made no mention of recovering a knife or other weapon linked to the death.
Rivera, a native of Mexico who is suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, made his initial court appearance Wednesday and is being jailed on...
