What Is a Kissing Bug?
10. Treatment
Treatment for the bites themselves is not usually necessary, although some antihistamines and/or home remedies may help to soothe any discomfort. As mentioned, however, you should get to an emergency room immediately if you appear to be having a severe allergic reaction.
If you have contracted Chagas disease then anti-parasitic medicine will need to be used. If Chagas disease reaches the chronic stage then medication will no longer be able to treat it. However, the patient will need to be treated for any further complications that Chagas disease can cause. Chagas disease can be fatal in severe cases, so it is important that medication is received.
