There may be people who like centipedes. I have seen people handling tarantulas and scorpions, but never a centipede handler. I would regard such a person with deep suspicion...Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede on its underbelly "And here is my big good centipede." If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.
Chagas Disease (rampant in the Central and Southern Americas)
I have collected assasin bugs in Bolivia, surely carrying the disease.

Quote:
An infected triatomine insect vector feeds on blood and releases trypomastigotes in its feces near the site of the bite wound. The victim, by scratching the site of the bite, causes trypomastigotes to enter the host through the wound, or through intact mucosal membranes, such as the conjunctiva.
That's so awesome. So if you catch the bug feasing on you, and it hasn't defecated yet....chances are, you're okay.
Although, researchers think that an oral transmission might be possible as well. _________________ -Neshan W. Sarkisian
