Summer brings sunshine and warmth, but it also brings pests like assassin bugs, which can transmit the parasite that causes Chagas disease.Their bites may lead to fever, headaches, fatigue, or rashes, while serious heart complications can sometimes develop years later.These insects often hide in gardens, woodpiles, porches, and homes, so keeping outdoor areas clean and sealing cracks can help prevent contact.
If you suspect a bite, seek medical care promptly—early detection and treatment can reduce the risk of long-term complications.
