-The hobby that’s costing young men tens of thousands of dollars [[https://tripskan40.cc/|tripscan войти]]
+‘Kissing bug’ disease is here to stay in the US, experts say. Here’s why it’s spreading [[https://trip-scan.co/|трипскан сайт]]
+Chagas disease, a potentially deadly condition caused by a parasite carried by insects called kissing bugs, should now be considered endemic in the United States, experts say – and without recognition that it’s a constant presence in some parts of the country, more people will suffer unnecessarily.
-When Ethan lost $11,000 on a single hockey game this past March, it was the last straw.
+A report on the topic was published last week in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, and the authors say they hope that growing global attention on the new paper means Chagas could finally get the surveillance, prevention and testing efforts and research funding it deserves in the United States.
-Ethan, who declined to share his last name out of fear of losing his job, bet “the spread’” on a Hurricanes-Flames hockey game. That means a team doesn’t just need to win – they must win by more than a certain number of points. The Hurricanes did come out on top – but by only one point, not the two-plus Ethan needed.
+“We’ve been waiting forever; all of us Chagas people have been waiting for people to recognize this disease is in our communities,” said Dr. Norman Beatty, coauthor of the report and a clinical associate professor at the University of Florida College of Medicine’s Division of Infectious Diseases & Global Medicine who has studied Chagas for the past decade.
+The World Health Organization considers Chagas a neglected tropical disease, and the Pan American Health Organization says it is endemic – with a constant presence or usual prevalence – in 21 other countries in the Americas, not including the United States. Chagas is one of the leading causes of heart disease in Latin America, and it causes more disability than other insect-borne infections, even more than malaria and Zika, studies show.
-Ethan, 27, broke down and cried in front of his girlfriend. He couldn’t do it anymore.
+Chagas largely spreads when triatomine bugs, commonly known as kissing bugs, bite a human while they’re sleeping. The bug defecates in that bite or on a person’s face, and the person unwittingly wipes the feces into their eyes, nose or mouth. The feces can carry a parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi, that causes the disease.
-What started as a casual hobby in college with his fraternity brothers had somehow escalated into a severe, years-long gambling addiction. And Ethan wanted out.
+Chagas can also spread through contaminated food or blood, organ transplants and pregnancy.
-Although his story is extreme, Ethan is an example of an increasingly concerning trend.
+Early symptoms can include fever, body aches, headaches, rash, vomiting and tiredness. They may last weeks or even months after initial infection.
-A recent national survey of registered voters in the US conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University found a quarter of men under 30 bet on sports online — and 10% of men ages 18-30 have a gambling problem, compared to just 3% of the overall population.
+According to the CDC, about 20% to 30% of people who’ve been infected develop more serious problems like long-term digestive and nervous system conditions, heart failure, stroke or death.
-In that survey, 68% of people who bet on sports online reported at least one gambling behavior that’s considered harmful, such as borrowing money to gamble or saying the gambling has caused financial or emotional problems.
+If it’s caught early, the disease can be cured with benznidazole or nifurtimox, medicines that kill the parasite. But the drugs become less effective the longer a person has been infected, and most people remain unaware of the disease. Many doctors don’t think to look for it in patients in the US, the new report noted.
-Dr. Timothy Fong, a UCLA psychiatry professor who is board-certified in addiction psychiatry, told CNN’s Nick Watt young people are particularly vulnerable to sports betting because their frontal lobes cannot yet handle impulsivity and risk-taking. Watt explores further on “The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper” airing at 10pm on Sunday, August 24.
+In fact, some people who are infected find out some time later, when they donate blood, since the US has been testing its blood supply for Chagas since 2007.
-“We know that the younger you start betting on sports, that leads to a higher likelihood of developing a gambling problem when they’re older,” Fong said.

+‘Kissing bug’ disease more deadly than thought
-That’s what happened to Ethan.
+Surveillance is limited, but the CDC estimates that about 280,000 people in the US have Chagas at any given time. It’s unclear how many have the more serious form of the disease or how many deaths are caused by Chagas each year.
-‘Anxious frenzy’
+Scientists have found kissing bugs in 32 states, the new report says. The blood-sucking insect mostly lives in warmer Southern states, but with climate change causing more bug-friendly temperatures, there’s a good chance they have spread farther.
-When Ethan was in college, sports gambling wasn’t yet legal, so he and his fraternity brothers used illegal sites to place bets.
-In 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that states should decide whether to legalize sports betting. That marked a turning point for the industry, and it’s now legal in 38 states and Washington, D.C.
+Scientistst have identified at least 17 states with infected mammals, including Virginia opossums, raccoons, banded armadillos, striped skunks, coyotes and wood rats, according to the latest report. Veterinarians have seen infections in zoo animals and pets, including cats, dogs and a horse.

+Doctors have reported Chagas cases in humans in eight states: Arkansas, Arizona, California, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. There are probably more cases, the new report says, but doctors are not required to report Chagas infections in most states.
-Suddenly, Ethan and others like him had access to several legal apps. That quickly escalated his addiction: He quit his near-six-figure sales job last August, determined to make sports betting his full-time gig.
-Last September, he was doing what he did every morning, drinking coffee with his girlfriend and reviewing daily game predictions. This time he came across a sports betting influencer who boasted about winning game after game – and though Ethan didn’t usually fall for this type of content, he was intrigued by what seemed like hard proof. The influencer advertised his picks for five games that day.
-“I bet $2,000 on each game and I lost every single one,” Ethan tells CNN.
-Ethan spiraled into an “anxious frenzy.” The next day he placed a risky $10,000 bet on a Chicago Bears game and tried to hide the paralyzing fear from his girlfriend. Ethan managed to win $20,000 and get out of the red. He was relieved—and back in the game. The next few months were a blur of ups and downs, wins and losses.
-Slowly, he realized he couldn’t even enjoy the wins amid all the anxiety.
-The $11,000 loss on the Hurricanes-Flames hockey game in March was the end. He chose to officially “self-exclude” — banning himself from all sports betting through the apps, meaning he wouldn’t be able to log back in.
-Shifting industry
-Twenty years ago, the word “gambling” called to mind slot machines in Las Vegas and poker tables in Atlantic City: mostly older people, and maybe the occasional bachelorette party, playing in person.
-Now, online gambling and sports betting have expanded that definition significantly. While casinos still represent most of the gambling industry’s profits, sports betting is exploding quickly: Revenue in that sector reached $13.7 billion in 2024, a 25% increase in just a year, according to the American Gaming Association.
