I remember reading about it before I went to Honduras a few years ago. The beetles that transmit it live in the walls of mud huts I believe. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002348/Risk factors for Chagas disease include: Living in a hut where reduvid bugs live in the walls Living in Central or South America Poverty Receiving a blood transfusion from a person who carries the parasite but does not have active Chagas disease
