Kissing bug could bring kiss of death while you are asleep


Have you ever woken up early in the morning only to feel some swollen lymph nodes on your body or even swollen lips or eyelids??Well,there is a need to worry.You need to visit your nearest hospital as you might have been a victim of the 'Kissing Bug'.
Kissing bug has been present as from early as the 1880s.In 1889,The washington post called it an epidemic on its headline.The chagas disease brought about as a result of the kissing bug was killing many people as at the time.


It waspresumed that in the event that you had swollen eye lids ,lymph nodes e.t.c then you were suffering from the disease.It was an

epidemic.This prompted a widespread witch hunt for the kissing bug.The efforts proved successful and they succeeded in purging the kissing bug.

However,in 2005 there were cases of the kissing bug again.Its very hard to know the time of the infection since it can take years for the chronic aspect of the disease to be realised. The bug emerges at night when the victim -to- be is asleep.


 Related:World's MOST DANGEROUS SPIDER commonly found in the Bananas is on the LOOSE!!! 


when you wake up and happen to scratch the site of the bite causes the trypomastigotes to enter the host through the wound.
() Once inside the host, the trypomastigotes invade cells, where they differentiate into intracellular amastigotes . The amastigotes multiply by binary fission and differentiate into trypomastigotes, which are then released into the bloodstream. This cycle
is repeated in each newly infected cell.

(source:wikipedia)


So this continues in a while till the day the host meets his or her death either through heart failure(due to the enlargement of the ventricles) or brain damage.


  During the day, the kissing bug hides in crevices in the walls.Time to do a thorough search for them.

NAVIGATING TRENDS IN THE MARKET:Live Auction,Short term bubble or Long Run Trend?

Finance weekly What to Look Out for When Trading or Investing For beginner investors, it can be difficult to navigate trends in the market. Which are the short-term bubbles, and what trends are here to stay?      There seems to be a far- wide accepted narrative that ‘normal’ people can’t make money investing. They should simply put their funds into a so-called Robo-generator which will  put their cash into index-tracking passive investment funds. In reality, this type of investing (known as ‘black box’ investing) is being overtaken by new technological advancements that keep on getting better day by day. This investment approach also goes against the unfolding financial technology motives, that are driving the idea of creating a level- playing field for anyone committed and serious to reap it big from trading and investment. It looks backward to when investing was for the elite. However, investment is being democratized. As such, I want to talk about a ne...
