The Kissing Bug
McAllen Monitor | Submitted by: anonymous
"The term kissing bug refers to the insect’s habit of biting people near the mouth while they sleep." ... "Like most other blood-feeding insects, they are attracted to carbon dioxide," said [the Texas Department of Health]. "As any animal exhales, they give off carbon dioxide, so when you are laying there asleep breathing, the release of that carbon dioxide leads him right to your mouth and nose." ... "It is not necessarily the bite of the bug that results in transmission of the parasite, but rather the habit the bug has of defecating as it feeds. It is the rubbing of parasite-laden fecal matter into the wound, mouth or eyes that infects victims."

The lesson is: don't smear shit into an open wound. I kind of knew that.

Now how many people are going to claim that their herpes outbreak is just a "kissing bug" nibble? And how many more stupid people will buy it?

Oh that's just freaking great. As if I'm not sleep deprived enough as it is, I now have this shit to worry about?! I wonder if this is the source of that dream I had a while back; the one in which I was a raspberry smoothie and woke up to the smell of a port-a-potty from a NASCAR event. Excuse me, I'm going to go scrub my entire body with a wire brush dipped in bleach.

Thats not so wierd. Doesn't everybody bite their lovers face and lips suck the blood from the wounds and then shit on their face only to rub it in with their hand? Oh, OK, it must be just me then......you don't know what you're missing.

i heard that you swallow at least eight spiders a year while sleeping. sometimes they lay eggs in your neck. in one case i heard of the neck swelled with a bubble and exploded eventually releasing thousands of baby spiders.

releasing thousands of baby spiders. ------------------------------------------------------------------ When I was a kid, I was climbing a tree, and I crunched an egg sac. Yup, you guessed, thousands of tiny spiders spewed forth all over me. I still get the willies every time some idiot on rotten reminds me of it, lol.

Spiders don't bother me unless they take me by surprise. I had a spider living in my closet for awhile. Eventually she made an egg sac. I let it alone until it broke and then I killed them all. The voices told me to do it.

As a liberal I would like to say that these Bugs are clearly the fault of the Bush administration. It's about time we stood up for our... Just kidding. Bugs shitting on peoples faces is gross but "rubbing parasite laden fecal matter into the...mouth" reminds me of what Rove must do to Scott McClellan before he regurgitates his lies to the press.

I thought those bugs were an urban legend. If you all will excuse me, I'll be bleaching my bedroom now.

You're welcome. By the way on the subject of spiders, I have an Orb Weaver about the size of the palm of your hand (including legs) living outside my back door. I spins a fantastic web and facinates the kids when they watch it spin the web. I've even taught the kids to catch bugs and throw them into the web to feed the spider, which they do with great amusement.

I just tell my voices to shut up and leave me alone. They don't bother me after that, at least for a little while.
